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.

    Wayne,

    Unfortunately, I've tried all 3 and no change :-(

    Try this. If you have Windows defender controlled folder access on turn it off. I discovered yesterday that it stopped a display driver from installing. I also turned windows defender off just in case after I disabled controlled folder access. Then either update or roll back ( I would roll back to 2015 driver in your case} your display driver to a known good one. Hope this is a fix for you. Good luck

    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

    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.

    1. Right click Start Menu
    2. Right click Device Manager
    3. Left click and Expand Display adapter

    3A. Right click on YOUR listed driver.

    1. Right Click  Update your Driver
    2. Left Click on Browse my computer for driver software
    3. Left Click on Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    4. Brings up a list with the driver I was looking for clicked on that and it installed the driver and all is working fine now.

    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.
