Custom resolutions missing from latest Intel HD graphics control panel
You may notice that the Intel graphics control panel previously had custom resolution settings but they are missing since upgrading the graphics driver for your Dell computer. This is by design as this function was determined not to be useful for current hardware configurations.
Do I have the Custom Resolutions/Modes feature enabled on my computer?
NOTE: High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or DisplayPort (DP) monitor connections are required for the Custom Resolutions option. VGA and DVI display connections are not supported.
In some cases, this functionality is desirable and you may wish to enable it, once this option is rolled back to the previous version driver that had the capability desired.
If you wish to enable this function with the current driver, follow the steps listed below:
NOTE: If you are using the latest control panel version, the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - you will not see Custom Resolutions/Modes in the control panel. You will need to follow these steps below in order to create a new mode.
If you have verified that you are using a newer driver version, check the Intel graphics driver properties window to see if the feature is available. Open the Intel graphics properties by either pressing Ctrl+Alt+F12, or Right-Clicking the Windows desktop and selecting Graphics Properties.
If prompted to select an application mode, select Advanced Mode.
On the Display Devices tab, check if the Custom Resolutions/Modes button is available. If you do not have a Custom Resolutions/Modes button after you update to the latest version of the driver, remove all of the profiles left from previous driver versions then reboot the system. Then create a custom driver profile using the CustomModeApp.exe as above. Reboot or just re-launch the Graphics Properties dialogue as above and you will have a custom profile visible in the Graphics Properties dialogue box.
NOTE: If the control panel doesn't recognize your model of display then you may have to create a custom profile for the display. EXAMPLE: U2711 monitor - create a custom profile of 2560, 1440, 52p, CVT-RB to get the best resolution that HDMI 1.4 will support.

How do I access the Custom Resolutions/Modes feature in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel?
The Custom Resolutions/Modes feature has been removed from the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. However, it is still an existing feature included with the driver. In order to access it, you will need to follow these steps:
Navigate to the following directory; C:\Windows\System32
Look for the Intel application named CustomModeApp.exe
Open the CustomModeApp.exe and you will be presented with an updated Custom Resolutions/Modes menu similar to that of older control panels.
How do I enable the Custom Resolutions/Modes feature?
Use of the Custom Resolutions/Modes feature requires knowledge of your monitor’s supported timing standards and detailed timing parameters. This information must come from your monitor manufacturer.
The appropriate timing standards or parameters must be used when adding a custom mode/resolution.
Note:Altering modes may reduce system stability and useful life of the system and chipset, cause the chipset and other system components to fail, cause reductions in computer performance, cause additional heat or other damage, and affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the chipset beyond its specifications.
To use the Custom Modes/Resolutions feature, the end-user must read and click Yes to a disclaimer warning message.
Previous versions of the Intel Graphics Command Center showed the Custom Resolution setting for internal displays but did not actually allow a custom resolution to be applied, therefore the Custom Resolution setting was removed. This is considered to be expected behavior.
Intel cannot and never has been able to extend support for custom resolutions on internal driver displays due to hardware limitations. Custom resolution is available for external monitors: How to Set Custom Resolutions and Modes in Intel® Graphics Command Center.
The Intel Graphics Control Panel has now been replaced by the Intel® Graphics Command Center for systems with 6th Generation Intel® processors or newer. The Intel Graphics Command Center has the latest features and capabilities and will continue to be the user interface for future improvements.
Note: If you see unexpected changes in your screen resolution, your graphics driver might need to be updated. To see and install available updates, select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
The graphics control panel application provides the option to adjust the display properties. Intel Graphics Command Center application allows you to interact with the system through graphical elements such as Windows, icons, and buttons.
In the Control Panel window, click System, and then click Display. Select the monitor that you want to change, if more than one monitor is connected to your computer. Click the Resolution drop-down box to see a list of recommended resolutions for that display. Click the resolution that you want, and then click Apply.
To create custom resolutions for your display. From the NVIDIA Control Panel navigation tree pane, under Display, click Change resolution. Click the image that represents the display you want to affect. Click Customize, then from the Customize dialog box, click Create Custom Resolution.
Note: You cannot delete a custom resolution if it is currently applied. From the Resolutions list box, click the file icon by the custom resolution that you want to export, then use the Export Settings dialog to save the settings to a file in XML format. Enable resolutions not exposed by the display.
Intel processors with a “K” suffix indicate that you can overclock the CPU above its stock frequency and have integrated graphics or iGPU, meaning you don't necessarily need a dedicated graphics card in your system to provide video output.
If the Intel Graphics adapter doesn't appear after installing the integrated graphics driver on your system: This means the integrated graphics on your system may be disabled. Try rebooting the PC into the BIOS and enable integrated graphics.
