Windows 10: Why does this happen when I enter fullscreen on a video or change the resolution?

Screen changes after fullscreening

It happens when i enter fullscreen mode on any application such as media player, it also happens when i select fullscreen mode on youtube and twitch videos, as well as with games in full screen.

The changes happen at the start of fullscreen mode and i have to tab out and reset the resolution by changing it and then changing it back for it to be reset to normal using the nvidia control panel.

 

Forced to play a game @ too high resolution (Ubuntu, fullscreen)?

You mean these (attach)? If i press the Alt key while in game, the game locks straight away (does not happen in a window: only in fullscreen). That's what i have changed, per Law-II's suggestion, before entering the game: if i set the resolution to 1080p before entering the game, the game's OK.

I've only tested 2 resolutions besides 1440p (1080p and 1200p) but this leads me to believe that i can only play @ the resolution set in the desktop before entering the game: if i attempt another resolution while in game, the game gets skewed like the video below.


Notice the pic i took in the video: it's OK, even though the image on screen is totally skewed. Did not behave this way, originally, and i dunno what changed: OS re-install didn't fix.

I'll give this a try latter and report back.
