Latest Windows update makes everything HUGE

Anonymous

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??

Hi All,

The Latest AMD Driver has some problems and here are some suggestions which you can try:

Go to Device Manager by typing in Devmgmt.msc in Run dialog box.

Navigate to Display devices and right click ATI Radeon HD. Choose Properties.

On the Driver tab, hit rollback Driver to go back to the previous version.

The next step would be to block Driver updates from Windows updates. For this,

Option 1:

Option 2: Use the show hide tool. As soon as the new driver is detected by WU, hide it. Steps are here:

Also, KB4055254 (if applicable) can also be a root cause. If the above steps don't help uninstall the update:

Yep, I tried all of the above. Plus monitor adjustments, safe modes, clean boot. This is why forced automatic updates don't make sense. Download them, try them. If they are buggy, system restore and report them, hold off downloading again until the bugs are fixed. Now Microsoft has a whole bunch of unhappy customers who have to use a buggy download until they can create the fix. What a ridiculous way to spend my Thanksgiving -- trying to make my husband's desktop PC semi useable for him for tomorrow because he has to work! Just get me back to 1920x1080 and I'll be fine.

Same problem here, except my previous recommended resolution was 1366 x 768. I did a restore, but it only held for 30 minutes before switching over again. I did restarts, and it didn't work. I've tried to un-hide other modes, but that wasn't one of them. I tried CRU, but it won't move over. I've made attempts to fix the drivers, but nothing's panning out.
