    Games are scaling widescreen even if laptop screen resolution is 4:3


    I have a potato laptop with Intel UHD 620 graphics and a 940MX GPU.So if you know, you don't have NVIDIA scaling options in the NVIDIA control panel when you are not using any external monitor. It shows only a limited options.So I can control scaling using Intel GPU settings only.I tried to play a game like NFSMW 2005 in 1024x768 resolution but it stretches it widescreen instead playing into 4:3 aspect ratio.Same happens in earlier COD games.But if a game have a dedicated option to play in 4:3, there's no problem. Example is Condition Zero and probably CSGO too. I can play it both widescreen

    Program (game) forcing resolution.

    This didn't work.

    And let me clarify: The game is widescreen 4:3 not with blackbars
