Windows 10: No Video zoom control

I have no video control. The reset button does not hold when clicked. My screen just Zooms to nothing. This has been a problem before.

You probably enabled video overlay control from your NVidia "Video Overlay Settings" (or from some other graphics card).

Go to that setting and change the option "video overlay setting" from "IN" to "OUT"

"This guys fix worked by putting the display in Demo mode (see link below). Though it feels more like a Band-Aid and not a fix. Couldn't find the overlay suggested above either to resolve the issue. Seems this issue is old and still exist with no definitive
resolution to cause or resolution."

Zoomed in videos

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below listed questions and get back to us.

1) Which media player are you using to play the videos?

2) Since when are you facing this issue?

3) Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

4) Are you facing the same issue while trying to play the videos on the internet?

Meanwhile, try the below troubleshooting steps.

Method 1: Try to use the 'Ctrl' key from your keyboard and the
Scroll wheel from your mouse to zoom in and zoom out and see if this helps.

Method 2: Change the Display Settings.

Step 1: Right Click on an empty space on your desktop and click on
Display Settings.

Step 2: Under Scale and layout, click on the drop-down list of
Change the size of text, apps, and other items and see if the setting is set to 100% (Recommended).

Step 3: On the same screen of Display Settings, see if the
Resolution is set to Recommended.

Method 3: Reinstall Graphics Drivers.

If the Method 1 didn't work, then you may want to
Update or Reinstall the Graphics Drivers.

Click on the above link and expand the Display Adapters category and then follow the rest of the steps in the above article.

NOTE: If you are using any Graphics Card Controller Application, then you may want to look into the application for the Video quality, Full Screen, etc., and change those settings.

Hope it helps.
