    Windows Find Default Resolution

    I'm trying to get started on making sprites for my game, but I don't know what resolution GameMaker 2 runs at by default. We are wanting our game to run at 720p but I'm not sure what dimensions GS2 runs at by default. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
