    Latest Windows 10 update has enlarged my desktop - HELP!


    Latest update has made my desktop wallpaper larger than my monitor, so that files saved to desktop are essentially "tucked beyond" the margins of my monitor. If I open a program or webpage to full screen, I cannot access the buttons at top right to minimize the window either thank goodness for keyboard short cuts. I've tried all I know in personalizing the desktop, but the problem persists. Can anyone out there help?

    :)

    Enlarging Fonts

    Hi,

    The option for enlarging fonts, apps, and other items is located in the Display settings. To enlarge fonts, apps, and other items in
    Windows 10, kindly follow these steps:

    • Right-click on any blank space on your desktop.
    • Open Display settings.
    • Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items on the Display tab, select your preferred size percentage.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.

    Enlarged Icons on Desktop

    Hi,  

    This issue might occur due some problem with display drivers.

    I suggest you to update display drivers and check if it helps.

    Let us try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Update Display Adapter.


    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device Manager.

    • Expand Display Adapter.

    • Right click on the video driver and select
      Update Driver Software
      .
    If issue persist, I suggest you to try method 2.



    Method 2: Download and Install the latest graphic drivers in
    compatibility mode.



    Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.



    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


    • Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
      ‘properties’.
    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


    Refer: Run Windows Update and download the latest driver:

    "Hi All,
    We stronly advise Comodo users not to update to latest MS update KB4022716, which is available for Windows 10 users till they have new fixed version of Comodo internet security products installed.

    Affected Products:
    - Comodo Internet Security / Comodo Antivirus / Comodo Firewall (Affected versions: v6246 and below)
    - Comodo Cloud Antivirus (Affected versions: v533 and below)
    - Internet Security Essentials (Affected versions: v81 and below)
    - Comodo Secure Shopping (Affected versions: v97 and below)

    Possible Problems:
    In case you have updated to MS update KB4022716 prior to updating to latest fixed version of Comodo products, following issues may appear:

    - Crashing browsers
    - May not be able to login to Windows

    Resolution:
    If you are able to login, you can uninstall Comodo and re-install latest fixed Comodo version. Else you need to go to Windows Safe Mode and uninstall Comodo product or re-store system to state before Comodo product was installed.

    In case you want to keep Comodo and pause Windows updates for some time, you may use following steps:
    Step - 1: Click on Start icon on Windows
    Step - 2: Next click on Settings menu item, it will open "Windows Settings" window
    Step - 3: Select "Update & Security" section from there and it will show "Windows Update" section
    Step - 4: Click on "Advanced Options" next, there is "Pause Updates" section allowing you to pause Windows updates for next several days

    You can find same steps with images here .

    Reason:
    There are unexpected changes in last MS update KB4022716, which are incompatible with Comodo products.
