    Strange look after cutoff...


    last night I shut down the pc cause of the thunderstorm. This morning after it rebooted the display looks very strange: every looks really big but "squeezed". One thing easily noticed is that the wallpaper's left side seems to have vanished. As if the image is now too large for the screen.

    How do I return it to previous look?

    :)

    Fonts look strange after update - See image; I don't know how to describe it

    Hi Cheryl,

    During the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, your display driver could have been changed. Usually, a device like a video card requires a software driver for the operating system to recognize it. We recommend that you install the appropriate driver for
    your display adapter to work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • In the Search box, type Device Manager and press
      Enter.
    • Click on Display adapters tree to expand.
    • Look for the name of the display adapter, right-click then select
      Properties.
    • Click on the Driver tab, look for the Roll Back Driver
      button, and click on it.
    • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect and check if the issue persists.

    Let us know if the solution above works for you.

  3. Fonts look strange after update - See image; I don't know how to describe it

    I updated to the Fall Creator Update today. Since the update, the fonts on my computer (across all programs) look funny. My only guess about what's going on is that the way the computer (or monitor? or graphics card? I dunno...) is processing the pixels
    that make up the letters have changed... now it's blurring / smudging / combining the pixels in a strange way. I'm including a screenshot to show the letters.

    I use Window's Magnifier feature, so this change is particularly noticeable for me. No, it was not like this before the update. The letters would look slightly pixelated, but not wavy like this.

    Has their been a feature change in the way fonts are displayed? Is there any way to go back to the old way?

    Have you looked in
    Settings
    System
    Display
    Then Landscape
    Make sure it is set to 100% recommended
    See if that cures your problem
    Or Start button
    Control Panel
    Display
    There you can calibrate all your settings

    Do a system restore. Pick 2 or 3 days ago as your restore point.

    ^^ They're correct of course, though I would personally reinstall the video card driver. I've had that same issue happen with clients.
