There is some limit for display resolution i believe.

Check this:

*Adjust display resolution. If the default resolution of your screen is
higher than 1920*1080, we recommend adjusting it to 1920*1080 for better
screen readability inside the exam environment. Leave the settings as is if
the default screen resolution is less than 1920*1080.*

nice seeing you in here @Gineesh

I have my son's laptop that is Asus vivobook, windows 11 has TPM and secureboot enabled, could not see in the UEFI how to disable them. any one have experienced usb failing to boot due to secureboot?

[Gineesh]

You too @Walid :)

I have experienced the same for another workstation and the workaround was using the old ISO.

(Ignore if you have already tried).

Again, it is recommended to use latest ISO as per guidelines but no choice, I used this old ISO to boot and completed 3x exams (after facing the secure boot issue with new ISO)

Thanks

Thank you @Gineesh 

[Gineesh]

My pleasure. Please share if this is still good and able to proceed.
Maybe some of the moderators can advise if this is okay to proceed :)

Hi @Walid , @Gineesh ,

Yes, the older 2020-08 iso can still be used.
We are still working on a newer image version but its taking longer to get it secure boot compliant.

I just went with an old Linux laptop, the exam specs are not high, and had a good experience with the exam interactivity.

Hi Team!  I am taking a remote exam for the first time tomorrow.  I was very convinced the rhexam would fail, there are several moving parts, USB boot, USB hub, Camera, mic etc...  went great tho!  10 mins from boot to finishing the compatiblity test.  Your docs were very thorough and the whole process went great!

It even found my wireless nic, top of the list

Now, bring on the test!  :)

Good luck with your exam!
