  1. Why are my windows slightly too big for my screen?


    So I recently connected my laptop (Windows 10) to my 4K TV. I setup the dual screens in Display Settings and configured the TV as the primary and made it so I could move the cursor between them. When I unplugged the laptop and opened Discord, it was a few pixels too big for the screen. (this happens with all windows/apps) For example, On the left where you see the little white dots when someone sends a message in a server wasn't visible. Also the text saying Discord in the top left is cut off. Also, I have my taskbar to say the whole window name instead of just the icon. Now the taskbar application thing's (idk what you call them) are really wide. I can't save screenshots of these issues because my save windows are now huge. Is there any way to fix this?



    Thanks

    Why are my windows slightly too big for my screen?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
