    So as it turns out, it wasn’t the HDMIdetective or 7mc that was at fault. I disabled 7mc starting upon windows startup and the resolution still was forced to 1024×768 so I did some more googling and it turns out that the windows live mesh remote connection service, which I had installed before traveling for the holiday in case i needed to access my htpc, is to blame. I just didn’t think of it because that change in my system was a week or two old (it just so happened that I had never restart my computer since installing it). I set that service to a delayed start and sure enough a couple minutes after restarting my computer the resolution would get forced to 1024×768, set it to disabled and the problem is gone.

     

    so thank you all for your help but it was my own damn fault.
