My husband's desktop (running Windows 10) downloaded and installed a major Windows update Nov. 22. After it did, his screen is huge. Icons, text, everything. I checked his resolution, icon size, text size and ease of access settings -- nothing out of place. Resolution is normal. Icon size is small. Text size is normal, all ease of access off. The screen zoom is 100%. If I system restore to before the update, it's fine. I tried to change the active hours to give myself a day to hunt down the answer today, but it updated again this morning, and the problem is back. We've restarted, powered off and did a hard restart, powered off and checked the monitor settings. It has to be a bug or a conflict with the new update, but I'm stumped. Anyone??

2017-11-24T20:23:03+00:00 I was able to fix (until windows does something else) by going into Settings-Display-Resolution, and changing the resolution to 1280X960. It worked! Happy again (for now)!

I don't know who gave the instructions regarding the recent Windows update but their suggestion DID work. HOORAY. Thank you so much. I went into Device Manager and changed the Driver to a Rollback to previous one and it did the trick. Thanks again
