Can't change fallout 4 resolution or run it on full screen, tried prefs changes, doesn't work

Fallout 4 runs fine in my old laptop. I just install fallout 4 on my newly put up desktop pc. The problem is that I couldnt change the resolution of my game or make it full screen under the setting option of launch windows. I tried the community solution by changing both prefs files from my document and steamapp folder to match my screen resolution. However, it makes no difference. HELP!

btw, I'm using a ryzen 7 2700x and rtx 2070 on a x470 ultra with a 2560x1440 monitor

Onedrive can cause it.

 

It happened to my Son. For some reason His My Documents folder ended up on onedrive and the game was reading that instead of what was on His hard drive.

 

I had a similar problem when I ran the game at 2560 X 1440 on my 4k monitor. I had to change windows to 2560 X 1440 for it to work.

 

This sort of thing is common with this game and Skyrim can be worse.

How did he solve this problem? I'm using multiple devices, and onedrive is how is how I share files between these devices. Is there a way to fix this issue without getting rid of onedrive?

He had to reinstall Windows. Then uninstalled Onedrive before installing games. A bit of a mess.
