    Windows 10 display scaling issue


    I have recently installed a full Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive. I also have Windows 10 installed on the internal SSD. Windows 10 and Ubuntu do not see and interfere with each other.


    But after installing Ubuntu onto the flash drive and doing my work there, I ejected the flash drive and started the computer again in order to boot into Windows 10 now from the SSD. Windows 10 booted successfully. Everything is fine except that the display is now kind of zoomed in. In the display section of the settings it says that the recommended scale is 150%. At first, I tried to make it 100%. But the display became very small and uncomfortable. Then I tried to update my graphics drivers I have two: one is Intel, the other is Nvidia. No success. I tried to uninstall and reinstall both of them. No success. I do not know what to do. Please note that this problem occurred only after the Ubuntu installation on the flash drive. I have never experienced it before.


    My laptop: Acer Swift3 SF314-56G

    Display adaptors: IntelR UHD Graphics 620 and NVIDIA GeForce MX150


    Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    MS Office and Skype scaling issue with display monitors

    Hi J,

    The scaling issues with your display monitor can be caused by an outdated operating system. To further isolate the concern, we suggest that you check for the latest update for Windows by following these steps:

    • Click on Start or the Windows Logo on your taskbar.
    • Select Settings or the gear icon and click Updates & security.
    • Click on Check for updates.

    If any updates are found, install it and wait for Windows to complete the update and then restart the device.

    Let us know the result of your troubleshooting.
