Windows 10: App windows shrink when display turned off and back on...?

Hi all...

So I have an HTPC setup for my TV. I'm using integrated graphics (Intel 8th generation), running Windows 10 Pro x64 (Version 2004 currently), plugged into a passthrough HDMI port in a Marantz home theater receiver, and the other side of that passthrough goes to my 4k TV.

I have Windows scaling set to 200% (for readability).

Something I've noticed since I started using this system is, sometimes when I turn off the display, then back on later (the computer is running 24/7), or when I reboot the computer... when I open a new window - any app, Slack, browser, PDF viewer, etc), it opens at 50% size (or approximately), in the upper-left corner of the screen (no matter where it had been when it was last opened). I'm sure this has something to do with the scaling, but I don't know why it would happen. I would think that once Windows is running at a given display scaling factor, app windows would open at their proper size, not so small that the content isn't even viewable (scrollbars appear and I only see a small portion of the window).

I've read some people say this has something to do with Intel graphics drivers, but I don't know how that would have anything to do with it.

Anyone ever see this happen, and find a solution to it? I could disable scaling, I suppose, but then I wouldn't be able to read the screen. I could also experiment by plugging the tv directly into the computer instead of the passthrough, though I'm not sure that would make a difference, either.

I've enclosed a current screenshot so you can see the difference between the window I made this post on, and one I had opened earlier.

Display does not turn off when pc is idle

Just did all the suggestions. Did not work. Display does not turn off.

This issue was from the beginning when I downloaded Win 10. I had Win 8.1 and the display always turned off as I set it.

My pc is HP Pavilion Touchsmart 23 all-in-one. According to "checking for updated drivers on display and monitors", I always get the response that the drivers currently installed are the correct ones.

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

AMD to Give 20 nm Optical Shrinks to Console SoCs First

Xbox 360 technical specifications - Wikipedia

Scroll down to list of revisions. Die shrinks are not consumer relevant with consoles. They bring no performance changes because consistency is the entire point of them. Unless you're batshit crazy Nintendo that is, then you get the "new 3DS" half step BS.
