Custom Resolution Utility 1.5.2 Download and Install

Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) is a software tool that allows you to create and manage custom resolutions for your monitor by modifying the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). It provides the ability to add or remove resolutions, adjust FreeSync ranges, and modify other display settings without altering the hardware. CRU saves the changes directly in the Windows registry as software overrides.

Getting Started

  1. Run CRU.exe: You may encounter a User Account Control (UAC) prompt, as the tool requires permission to modify the registry.
  2. Select a Display: From the drop-down menu, choose the display you want to configure.
    • Displays marked with “(active)” are currently connected and recognized by the graphics driver.
    • A display with a “*” indicates that changes have been made, and an override has been saved to the registry.
  3. Make Edits: Modify the display settings as needed. For further details, refer to the sections below.
  4. Repeat: If necessary, repeat steps 2-3 for any additional displays.
  5. Use Copy and Paste: The “Copy” and “Paste” buttons allow you to copy resolutions, extension blocks, and range limits (if included) between displays. These functions will not copy the name or serial number but will carry over the display’s relevant data. The “Import” function works similarly unless “Import complete EDID” is selected.
  6. Save Changes: Click “OK” to save your changes.
  7. Restart the Graphics Driver: Run restart.exe to apply the changes by restarting the graphics driver.
    • If the display does not reappear after 15 seconds, press F8 to enter recovery mode. This temporarily disables all EDID overrides without deleting them. Restart the driver to reload any saved changes.
    • In some cases, the graphics driver may crash during the restart process. If the driver is disabled after rebooting, run restart.exe again to re-enable it.
  8. Set the Resolution in Windows: Adjust the resolution through the Windows display settings. To set the refresh rate:
    • Windows 10: Right-click the desktop > Display settings > Advanced display settings > Display adapter properties > Monitor tab.
    • Windows Vista/7/8/8.1: Right-click the desktop > Screen resolution > Advanced settings > Monitor tab.
  9. Reset to Default: To reset a display to its default configuration, use the “Delete” button to remove the override from the registry, then reboot.
    • To reset all displays, run reset-all.exe and reboot. This can be done in safe mode if needed.
