Windows 10: Help, last update screwed my old 4:3 games

I've updated a few hours ago and now all the old games that i used to play in 4:3 are with the graphics stretched to widescreen, and there's no way to put them like before, i have a profile for each game in my radeon settings for preserving aspect ratio and having enabled ''run as admin'' and ''disable fullscreen optimizations'' in the shortcut doesn't do nothing

PLEASE HELP! Game not working

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and frustration you have been through. I will be glad to assist you.

Method 1: I suggest you to update the display drivers on your computer and check if it helps. Refer the below steps to update the driver.

1. Press “Windows + X” and select Device manager.

2. Select Display Adapter and expand the driver icon.

3. Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

4. Follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver.

5. Restart the computer and check if the issue is resolved.

Install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website.

Method 2: I would also suggest you to install the Game in Compatibility mode and check if it helps.

Install the Game in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

1. Find the Game installer file location.

2. Right-click on the setup.exe file and click on ‘properties’.

3. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.

4. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
