  1. Microsoft locked out my NVIDIA screen driver


    I have been using Windows 10 for about 3 years. Regularly installed the updates. I have a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 display driver. Screen glitched once and error message was sent to Microsoft. NVIDIA driver was locked out by Microsoft and generic driver used. Screen is now very scrambled and effectively unusable. Obviously not compatible with the generic display driver. I cannot re-install NVIDIA drivers as the installer says the driver is locked. Unistalled NVDIA driver and tried to re-install still no good. What do I do. NOTE I have a legimate copy of all software on my PC and after many years ha

    Lock Screen Image Too Big

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Is this issue occurs only when the pictures are set from OneDrive?

    I suggest you to set the picture for the lock screen using the default lock screen pictures and check whether the issue persist or not, follow the below steps to set the pictures.

    • Go to “settings” and click on “personalization”.
    • Under “lock screen” tab, select the option from the drop box as “picture”.
    • Then under “choose your picture” option, click on any picture and go to the lock screen, check whether the issue persists or not.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
