How do I resolve a resolution adjustment issue on a UEFI-booted Windows Server 2016 virtual machine?

Cause

Virtual machines with UEFI boot support require OVMF firmware. Resolution must be changed through this firmware.

Solution

  • Restart the virtual machine from within the Windows system. When the UEFI interface appears, press ESC to enter the boot settings, then set the resolution in OVMF Manager.
