Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista

Display contains display settings for a video adapter.

The Display setting is used during the Windows PE phase of the Windows installation process. The display settings are not applied to the Windows installation. To change the display settings for the Windows installation, see Display in the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component.

We recommend that you use the default settings. If you select a value for this setting that is not supported by Windows PE, your video adapter, or the display monitor, then Windows PE might show only a blank screen without displaying an error.

Note

  • On UEFI-based computers, this setting is ignored unless you have added a graphics driver into the Windows PE image at \sources\boot.wim.

  • On BIOS-based computers, by default, Windows PE uses a resolution of 1024x768. For displays with a smaller maximum resolution, Windows PE uses the largest resolution available, based on the extended display identification data (EDID) of the connected display.
