HELP!! Dell Venue 8 Desktop Display Stuck in 5120 x 3600 Resolution!!!

Hello, I recently acquired a Dell Venue 8. I really enjoy it, unfortunately while trying to change the text size in desktop mode, I adjusted the display settings to 5120 x 3600, and cannot revert it back. I only see a small part of the overall screen and cannot access the full resolution settings due to it. Is there a way to reset the desktop mode resolution? I've been trying for hours and with no luck. The mobile display works and looks fine, it’s the desktop mode that concerns me. Any help would truly be appreciated, thank you!

Best,
D-R

Hi, D-R. No light bulbs going off above my head about this, but first it might help to know how you did this. When I right-click and select Screen Resolution, it correctly shows the native screen resolution of the tablet. AFAIK there's no way to access the screen settings from the metro side.

So where were you, in what app or setting, when you were experimenting with this?

Does the problem persist after a reboot?
