Windows 10: PROBLEM WITH ASPECT RATIO IN GAMES

I've got this problem with the last major Windows update. Every time I try to launch a game with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the game just stretches to my whole screen instead of being normal 4:3 with the black bars on the sides this occurs only in fullscreen, if I launch a game in windowed mode - it's all normal

I tried this with a several games now, and results are the same.

I have a 16:9 screen with the resolution of 1600x900, and because of my low pc specs, I'm playing some of the games in 4:3 aspect ratio. But since the last major Windows update I can't really do it, and that's really buggin me out.

Does anyone, by chance, have the same problem?

Aspect ratio

After windows 10 upgrade patch, the monitor is stretched sideways indicating a problem with aspect ratio. How can this be fixed? There are no proper screen resolution options on display settings.

Windows 10 Graphics Rendering Aspect Ratio Issues

As an update since I got an email saying "Your question has not been marked as answered". As already mentioned in a previous post, it has NOT been answered nor resolved. The problem as mentioned was the drivers and the software no longer offers "Scale Full
Screen" option.

The problem is between Microsoft Windows 10 and Intel Driver Software. The issue is when a game starts no matter the time it was made or DirectX used, it keeps the aspect ratio in Windows 10 1366x768 inserting black bars on the left and right side, rather
than stretching games to full aspect of the screen.

Already tried numerous tips, tricks, and suggestions from Intel website, NVidia Website, community forums, and here on Microsoft forums. All suggestions failed. Simple answer I suggest Microsoft Technical Dev team is

A. Collaborate with Intel on HD 4000 drivers and software to resolve compatible issues

B. Focus on aspect ratios in the development

C. Allow aspect ratios to change when programs start not requiring the native resolution to rule.

Will continue working with Intel Community Forums, Windows Forums and NVidia.
