Windows 10: Laptop Screen resolution not scaling properly

Hello. I'm not sure what I did. I think I might have hit an Hotkey. I'm not sure. Anyways. I have an MSI GE66. Fully updated windows, fully updated drivers. The 15" screen built in laptop monitor, it has a native 1920x1080 display setting. If I use that resolution the screen fills the whole monitor. When I try to use a different resolution, like 1366x768 because I don't like the 1920x1080 the screen will be inside of a box in the center monitor. This affects gameplay which is very annoying. I don't think a 15" screen is big enough for 1920x1080. I prefer 1366x768 instead. Now it wants to a box in the center of the screen.

I've tried different guides but 1: I have no option to scale screen resolution, neither in Window's nor in Nvidia's Control Panels. 2. I have full admin so I don't understand why the option doesn't appear. So I've tried several guides but they don't help because those options don't appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Screen Resolution and Scaling

Hi all,

A while back when I got my laptop it was early on in the 4k days. I was using an external monitor concurrently with the laptop screen and had to change some settings in order for the scaling to work properly. I cannot remember what those settings were now.
I don't use the external monitor now and am having some scaling issues on the laptop screen. For instance, when I select scaling to 250% (recommended) all of the apps appear really good, except documents in multiple apps show the document as being too small
when zoomed at 100% (word, acrobat etc.). When I select scaling to 300% the documents appear at actual size on my screen, but the actual app appears terribly bulky. How can I resolve this? As in keep my app scaling as it is but make it so that documents appear
at their real size on my screen?

Thanks in advance!

Jackson.
