Windows 10: HELP upgrade to 1903 and screen is squashed in on the sides

I tried upgrading drivers from device manager, windows said ran into a problem.

Without a full screen display, the PC is not one I want to use for windows. The sides are missing 3 inches on each side, so its just black there.

In windows 1809, had no problem, screen image filled the monitor space fine.
If I knew this would happen I would not have allowed the 1903 upgrade/

Local profile issue after upgrading to 1903


Hi roblinb

Not listed in the Known.

Known issues for Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903


As far as Wifi any chance it is Qualcom inside USB adapter, if Qualcom then yes known issue.


I might create another user (Local) and when if try again see if this issue occurs on both users.

Would also suggest you run the first 5 steps in this tutorial to see if you have any corruption with current build.
