I have not used my computer in two days, and when I went to turn it on everything it's HUGE now!  Prior to today it has worked perfectly fine. I have checked all settings and resolution and nothing has been changed, it's all the way it should be.  I've even tried doing a system restore nothing is working!  HELP!!! PLEASE!!  I'm using Windows 10.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    ConiGL,

    I haven't been able to fix the problem yet.  Looks like a lot of others are finding the fixes are working but, I, on the other hand haven't had that luck :-(

    It is good to hear you sorted this out. Microsoft should really step back on device driver updates. It is messing with a lot of computers and messing with peoples time and emotions trying to fix these  problems. The old setting is still in the control panel to turn off device updates but I am unsure how effective that setting is anymore .You may have already done this so forgive me if you have and we are going over old stuff here.  You can open the control panel by typing it in cortana or asking if you use her that way and then look for system. and open that, Then open system protection and open the hardware tab the second setting  device installation settings  is what you want to click on and check the no box then apply.

    You can also make all your connections to the internet metered .

    Just wanted to let everyone know, option 1 worked on my computer, rolled back to ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics, and restarted. I hope it stays that way. I don't want anything to update on that graphic, anyway to stop that? 

    Hello,

    Option 1:

    Hide the update if offered using the show hide tool:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/3073930/how-to-temporarily-prevent-a-driver-update-from-reinstalling-in-window

    Option 2:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-enable-disable-driver-updates-windows-update-windows-10-a.html

    The update was so aggressive for some devices that these both didn't work. Some customers had to disable the Windows update service temporarily to prevent.

    Microsoft will surely deliver a fix for this problem soon...the question is when.  I suspect sooner than later because of the pervasive nature of the problem.  It's affecting a lot of people. 

    Can you live with the distorted screen problem until then? 

    When I experienced this problem myself, it was still possible to function with it.  The screen was simply changed from 1920/1080 to a distorted 1024/768...but I could still function even though I hated the looks of it.

    But by all means, don't purchase another computer over this transient inconvenience.  It may be corrected soon after everyone returns from the Thanksgiving holiday at Redmond, Washington.
