Windows 10: Can't adjust screen resolution to match my display

I have my Windows 10 computer driving a flat screen (VGA?) display through HDMI port. Everything was fine until a recent update, now all of my programs hang over the edge rendering all of my music production programs unusable. I know this has happened before (many, many times) but it's been awhile and I've forgotten how to get it to adjust properly. I've tried every possible setting and nothing works. I've checked my drivers and it says they are up to date and working, but I seem to remember that the last time this happened the key was doing something with the drivers. Only problem is, it identifies my display (Dynex TV display) as a "generic" display, so who knows what kind of driver it's trying to use. Anyway I've got about $2,000 worth of software that is completely worthless right now until I can get the display to work. Please help (anybody!)
