Windows 10: Display looks narrow

My display looks narrow. Everything looks squished from the sides. I've changed my resolution, messed the scaling and no matter what I do it still looks narrow. It wasn't like this a few days so I'm not sure what happened.

windows 10 screen narrow

Hi,

This is a common concern when the screen resolution is not properly set, failing hardware, monitor settings, outdated driver and such. For now, we suggest changing the resolution:

• Right-click on the desktop screen.
• Click Display settings.
• Click Display on the left pane.
• Look for Resolution and select the resolution that fits your screen.

We look forward to your response.

All the best.

I appreciate in any case your help
