Windows 10: Display too large after Windows 10 update

Hi!


My computer recently updated Windows 10. After the update everything displayed on my monitor is too big--my desktop does not fit in the viewing portion of my monitor, and everything on the margins is cut off. For example, I can't fully see the start menu; the date is cut off on the bottom of the task bar. When I start an application, the window is too large and I need to resize each time I open it.


I have tried changing the scaling options. I do like 125%, but tried changing it back to 100- it's actually worse that way with slightly more cut off. Also note that I did not have any issues previously with 125%.


I updated the display driver and restarted the computer, no help. I'm not much a techie, so not sure what information may be relevant.

Computer: HP Pavilion desktop 595-p0xx; i5-8400
Display settings: 1920x1080; scaling 125%
Monitor: Samsung S24C350; 67.2kHz 60Hz 1920x1080
Intel UHD Graphics 630
UHD Graphics control panel settings: 1920x1080; 16:9

Windows Home 10 64 bit version 1909


Thank you in advance!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Cortana Search Showing large text

Hi,

This issue may have happened due to outdated display driver. Please follow these steps to update your driver:

• Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
• Expand Display adapters, and right click your graphics card and select
  Properties.
• Choose Driver tab and click
  Update Driver.

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for updates in your computer's manufacturer website using the model of your driver. We also suggest that you start your computer in
