Windows 10: Display has changed radically since latest update

This is a screenshot of what the text on my screen looks like now - as though it's not got enough pixels in it, somehow!

The letters seem to be randomly thin and thick, bold and not, really weird. This isn't the way it's meant to be, it's the same on my own site which is supposed to be simply normal Ariel. I've checked that drivers are up to date. I can't find anywhere to check if my old computer screen is unsuitable for the new update. Anybody have the same problem or any idea what to do?

In Display settings, changing the scale of a display does not change its relative size when arranging with other displays

Hi Brian,

For us to properly isolate the issue with your display settings, we would like to know if you made any changes to your computer prior to the concern (e.g. updates, software installation). This issue might occur due to a corrupted display driver. We suggest
that you uninstall the display drivers and restart the computer (the drivers will be automatically updated after the restart). To do this, you may follow the steps below:

• Press Windows and X keys together.
• Click on Device Manager.
• Locate and expand the Display Adapter.
• Right-click on the Display Device.
• Click on Properties.
• Under the Driver tab, click Uninstall.
• Restart the computer after uninstalling the Display Device.

We also recommend that you try installing the latest display driver from the manufacturer's website.

We look forward to your response.

 

display stretched after windows update

Hello,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that after an Update, your Display is larger and stretched. I will certainly help you with the issue.

I would like to know the make and the model of your PC.

Also, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1:

• 
  Press Windows key and type Change Screen Resolution and click on the option listed
  
• 
  Under Resolution, try changing the resolution settings
  

Method 2:

You may update the Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps.

1. Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.

2. Expand “Display Adaptor”.

3. Right click on the video driver and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Method 3:

Try installing latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 display driver is not available in the manufacturer website, I suggest you to install the driver in compatibility
mode.

To install the display driver in compatibility mode, I would suggest you to follow these steps:

a. Download the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
select latest Windows version from the drop down list.

e. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

Hope this information helps.

Reply us with the status of the issue.

Sincerely,
