All the videos complicate things with unnecessary steps. The easiest way to stretch is to use GPU scaling and add the resolution you want with SRE: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa...Editor-SRE

Some people think GPU scaling adds lag, which isn't true, but if you want to use display scaling instead, then you need to add the resolution you want with CRU, restart, and try setting the resolution in the Windows display settings.

You shouldn't get a black screen after restarting if you didn't delete any of the existing resolutions unless the driver crashes, but then it should be fine after a reboot unless you're running into a driver bug (NVIDIA has issues on some systems), in which case you should boot Windows in safe mode and run reset-all.exe and just do the GPU scaling way with SRE.

If restarting is fine but you get a black screen after changing the resolution in the display settings, that means the monitor doesn't support the resolution, so you'll have to use GPU scaling. Windows will automatically revert the resolution if you don't confirm it after 15 seconds, so no worries there.

The only issue is if you have an NVIDIA GPU, sometimes it won't give you the display scaling option when it should (another NVIDIA driver bug), so people end up just deleting all the other resolutions except the one they want. Regardless of what happens, you can always boot Windows in safe mode and run reset-all.exe if you can't see the screen.
