It’s a Dell Inspiron 15 3525, my daily-driver laptop. It’s a 15.6″ screen, with Native Display Resolution == 1920 x 1080

I clean installed Kodi — no prior install or data

When I launch Kodi, it launches in Windowed mode.
The Kodi window display resolution — all icons are huge, and the window’s expanded way off screen.
I can resize the window, but that doesn’t survive restart. It returns to as above.

If I “\” to get to full screen, all looks ok as long as I’m in full screen.
In

Code:
    Settings>Systen>Display

I see

Code:
    General
    Monitor      ---> Default
    Display mode ---> Full Screen
    - Resolution ---> 3490x1964p.

If I click Resolution, the selection dialog opens, displaying only one resolution: 3490x1964p.
Nothing else to select from.

If I click on Whitelist, only one option’s available: 3490x1964p 120.00Hz.

I don’t know where it’s getting that resolution.

How do I get Kodi to detect, or accept change to, the correct resolution for my laptop, i.e., the 1920×1080?
