    Windows is stuck on widescreen?


    Hello- I have any so many issues with my driver I don't really know what to do, first off. After playing a game that typically forced my computer to go into widescreen, now upon exiting the game my computer has stayed in widescreen. I don't think it is the driver, but I have no idea what is going on. In safe mode, I don't have this issue. When I open another game that requires full screen like Skyrim, the sides are not blocked off. Can someone please tell me how to bring this back to normal?

    :)

    Widescreen monitor

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description your monitor is not being recognized as widescreen. The issue could be due to screen resolution or device drivers.

    So, try to change the screen resolution first and see if it helps you to fi x the issue.

    To change your screen resolution


    • Open Screen Resolution by right clicking the Start button
