It seems to be a problem if I make ANY change in CRU.That shouldn't matter. EDID overrides work with laptops with switchable graphics, so there's some issue specific to the Surface Book 3. I don't see anything unusual in the EDID. The only significant difference is CRU doesn't include the range limits by default. Try enabling "Include if slot available" under range limits. Does that make a difference? If not, search the registry for "EDID_OVERRIDE" and delete any "CRU_" values. Does that make a difference? "Include if slot available" did not make any difference. I really don't know how to work with the registry. But, using regedit, I did a search for "EDID_OVERRIDE" and it didn't find anything. ->HOWEVER<- It looks like I've found a successful workaround. Most of the time, I’m working with an external display. So, I tried setting this up with the external display connected, taking the laptop screen out of the equation. And it worked. Here are the steps: -Close laptop. -Connect external display and USB mouse/keyboard via USB-C Hub. Wake computer. It’s now working like a desktop - it’s only using the external display, since the laptop is closed. -Using CRU, add the new detailed resolution. (I used the Manual timing). -Restart computer. Do not open the laptop. Leave it connected only to external display until reboot is finished. -After reboot, the custom resolution is available in Windows Settings, but ONLY when the external display is connected. After this, it’s OK open the laptop and use the laptop screen. The custom resolution is available and does work on the laptop screen, but ONLY if the external display is connected. That’s OK for my needs. If I ever need to use the custom resolution when I’m traveling, I have a 4K Headless adapter, which tricks the computer into thinking there is an external display connected. ToastyX, I sincerely appreciate your support and responsiveness. Maybe this info will help future Surface Book 3 users. |
