Latest Windows update makes everything HUGE

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??

    The Reimage Plus software has been categorized as malware or at best a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Malwarebytes.com (Free) and (Paid) versions.  Malwarebytes.com is considered authoritative in these matters.

    This should tell you everything you need to know about Reimage Plus software programs.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is true.

    Hey, does this "Reimage Repair" tool I've heard about work? Because, in addition to the resolution problem, several games now can't be played because I get the message "could not load OpenGL subsystem." Would that at least take care of that problem, and if it does, would it also fix the resolution issues?

    I have done this. Then it says that the driver is already up-to-date. I can't update it, and I can't roll it back. I basically did an AMD Catalyst install for nothing.

    Right Click the Basic Display driver and click update. 

    Click Browser My computer 

    Include location which has your older drivers and click Next.

    I've almost got the problem licked. I just can't get the computer to recognize the new driver I've installed, and it's still stuck on "Microsoft Basic Display Driver/Adapter." Can you please help me with the final hurdle?
