    Tall and Skinny Screen in Windows 10


    I used a different resolution than 1920x1080 and then after I was done with it, the screen became all tall and skinny once I switched back to the resolution. I have all my graphics drivers up to date: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and Intel UHD Graphics 630. I am trying to get it to look normal again. It looks the same on 100% and 125% display scaling. Help me if you can.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Screen too wide/tall for screen

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if this helps:

    Method1: Try to uninstall and re-install the graphics Card drivers.

    You may follow these steps to uninstall and reinstall the graphics Card drivers:

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard and type “devmgmt.msc” in the “Run” Command box and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Device Manager” window, search for the graphics Card drivers, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device
      you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.
    Method 2: You can try installing the drivers in compatibility mode and check if this helps:

    • Press the ‘Windows key on the keyboard.
    • Type compatibility in the search box and then press
      enter
      .
    • Click “Run programs made for previous versions of Windows” option from the list appeared in the left side.
    • Select the drivers and install.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
