Hey guys,

I created a WinPE Boot Disc using Windows ADK for Windows 8.1, everything worked fine, except for the screen resolution of WinPE, it shows in a very high resolution and the software/fonts it runs show very small, how can I change the resolution so the running software shows the correct way?

I already tried putting an unattend.xml in:

• Boot disc root (media folder and root after moounted)
  
• %windir%
• %windir%\system32

With these lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
    <settings pass="windowsPE">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    	   <Display>
                <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth>
                <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution>
                <RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
                <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution>
           </Display>
        </component>
    </settings>
</unattend>

I also tried adding -attend:x:\unattend.xml in startnet.cmd

But it still shows too small.

Ant ideas?

Thanks.

As a guess I would have looked at the BCD.  There are settings in there about resolution.
