Windows 10: Stretched game screen on Windows 10 laptop

To whom it may concern,


I play a pc game called 'Feeding Frenzy' on both my PC and toshiba laptop. When I set the game to full screen on my PC, the game maintains its 4:3 ratio as shown in the top photo. However when I do the same thing on my toshiba laptop, the game screen looks stretched (bottom photo) since it fills the whole screen. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance.


Kind regards

Stretched game screen on Windows 10 laptop

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that it can be frustrating when you are unable to play the game full screen. Let’s narrow down the issue by following below suggestions. Kindly help me with the following questions.

1. Does this issue persists on all applications or with this particular game?
   
2. What is the make and model of PC?
   
3. From where have you downloaded this particular game, is it from the Microsoft Store?
   

Method 1: Screen settings within the game.

I would suggest you to check with the settings within the game to adjust the screen resolution. To do that, go to the
Options > Menu > Settings within the game (not all games have this option) > select
Full-screen ON > click on OK.

Method 2: Check the Resolution and DPI settings
on the computer. Make sure that you have the first item is set to 100% or whatever is recommended for your computer.

Method 3: Update display drivers.

The issue might be due to older drivers with higher screen resolution as well. So, I suggest you to uninstall the display drivers from device manager and install the latest drivers available. To know more about how to update the drivers, kindly check
the article on Update drivers in Windows 10.


Hope it helps.

I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

 

Windows 10 screen is stretched!

There is no manufacturer listed. It says "to be filled by o.e.m" or something so I'm not sure where I am supposed to go to find a driver update or which one is the right one to use.

But I did complete the bottom steps and there was no change.

At first, I thought it might be a problem caused by the monitor, but when I was installing windows updates, the updating screen was normal and not stretched. However, as soon as it restarted, it was back to being stretched again.
