    Windows main monitor opens not at full screen


    Recently, when I turn on windows, for about a solid inch on both the bottom and right of my screen is just black. The only way I make it properly full screen is when i open a game in fullscreen, then it reverts. Am I doing something wrong?

    :)

    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

  3. A 1/2" square spot of "snow" on monitor screen?

    Hi,


    • Are you saying that you have tried all the steps and the issue still persist?

    • What is the model number of your Dell Inspiron laptop?

    Could you send a screen shot of the issue? To take a screen shot using Snipping tool, follow the below steps;


    • To open Snipping Tool, type Snipping Tool in the search box on the taskbar, then select
      Snipping Tool.

    • To take a screenshot with Snipping Tool, select
      New,
      then select the part of the screen that you want to capture. Choose from free-form, rectangular, window or full-screen snips by selecting the arrow on the
      New button.


    I suggest you to refer to the answer provided bysker-hughes in the below link and check if the issue can be resolved.

    Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.
