Windows 10: 1607 enlarges monitor image

Woke up to numerous system changes & noticed the dreaded 1607 update got installed overnight. The most annoying unwanted change this time is that any maximized window now extends beyond the monitor boundary -- meaning I can't see its caption buttons, menu bars, status bar, or the rightmost or leftmost half-inch of the program. This is a repurposed HDTV with no option to fine-tune the picture position. Any ideas? Right now I've built clumsy VBA macros to modify the initial window position & dimensions when Word or Excel opens, but that's clearly not the answer.

Tried doing a System Restore to before the update, but it arrived in 3 parts (KB3176937 / KB3176936 / KB3176935) and apparently all restore points except the last of those 3 were erased! Grrr. *Mad

Monitor resolution Distorted after performing Windows Anniversary Update.

Original Title : Update 1607 - Monitor Settings changed

Hello,

Upon updating to Win 10 14393.10 -1607, the images on the monitor are distorted, too wide and not in porportion.

I have tried changing the resolution, but this does not work.

The task bar does not work properly either, it keeps hiding part of the icons.

The MS Basic monitor drivers are not the ones that were being used and I cannot find the correct drivers online without paying for them.

The Monitor is an AOC 2050w

Thank you,

Martha

 

Have you checked the settings on the monitor itself? Mine has a Menu for making changes but also has an Auto Adjust button. Then check the resolution of the display in the right-click of the Desktop and Display Settings. To each his own but I prefer a resolution of 1440x900 and 125% for sizing.

 

Yes, that was the first thing I tried, but as I said, this is a TV, not a monitor per se, and its video adjustments are extremely limited. Like you I also use 125%, and this TV has worked fine without adjustments since Win10 arrived (and for a good while prior in Win7).

AHHH, I just found the fix. Downgrading the resolution to 1776x1000 (was 1920x1080) worked. Could've sworn I tried that earlier too. Never a dull moment.
