Windows 10 Full Screen Aspect Ratio 4:3 problem

Hello there Windows 10 users,

I've recently updated to Windows 10 Pro, from Windows 8.1 Pro, since i've updated i've had problems playing games in fullscreen on a 4:3 aspect ratio.

I've noticed something strange, if i change to a lower resolution on desktop and than go into IntelHD 4000 and select "Scale Full Screen" it works perfect, i mean it stretches the resolution to the whole screen, but only on desktop, if i enter a game it
will have blackbars on the sides.

But here's the odd thing, if i enter a game, let's say for example CS:GO or Dota2, and i have ingame aspect ration 4:3, my game will have blackbars on each side of the monitor, even if i have "Scale Full Screen" selected in IntelHD 4000.

And another odd thing is that if i am ingame and press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, the desktop takes the 4:3 aspect ratio of the game with blackbars on the side...

What can i do? Please give me a solution to this annoying bug.

 

PROBLEM WITH ASPECT RATIO IN GAMES

I've got this problem with the last major Windows update. Every time I try to launch a game with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the game just stretches to my whole screen instead of being normal 4:3 with the black bars on the sides (this occurs only in fullscreen,
if I launch a game in windowed mode - it's all normal)

I tried this with a several games now, and results are the same.

I have a 16:9 screen with the resolution of 1600x900, and because of my low pc specs, I'm playing some of the games in 4:3 aspect ratio. But since the last major Windows update I can't really do it, and that's really buggin me out.

Does anyone, by chance, have the same problem?

 

Aspect Ratio Not Working Correctly

I bought a new monitor recently that has a larger resolution than my previous one. It was 1920x1080 but now 2560x1440. Whenever I try to open a game that is able to use 4:3 aspect ratio, it used to give me black bars and place the program in the middle
of my screen. Now, the game opens up on the side of my screen and causes so much warping of the actual game that I am unable to even play let alone see my screen without tons of blur and weird visual effects all over the place. It takes a bit of tweaking with
the settings - changing the aspect ratio back and forth many times - for the black bars to eventually appear. I have already gone into my Nvidia settings and changed the scaling mode into aspect ratio. What can I do to fix this issue?
