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.

    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?

    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.

    Some people have found this uninstaller to work to completely uninstall a driver.

    http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

     Make a restore point then turn off system protection. Turn off UAC

    Check in settings apps and features>installing apps that it doesn't say only from store. I might be reaching here but change the setting in drop down box to install apps from anywhere. Change it back after to whatever setting you want.

    Also if you have a laptop or desktop turn off tablet mode under settings> display. Make sure all antivirus or malware programs are off.

    Have you tried safe mode?

    SFC and DISM from an administrator command prompt?

    sfc /scannow

    DISM

    Hopeful that this will help. Sorry if this is going over everything you have tried.

    Please reenable everything you disabled except controlled folder access. It is buggy.

    Some are also suggesting to uninstall your current display adapter FIRST as follows.  Right click Start Menu>right click Device Manager>Expand Display Adapter>right click YOUR display adapter>left click Uninstall Device.    

    Then reboot and repeat the instructions below.

    ConiGL,

    Well, I guess that won't work either because I've had it turned off due to issues like you mentioned. Ugh!  This is so annoying!  I really do not want to purchase a new computer over this.  Something has to work.

    Losing hope,

    Lisa
