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??

    Well, I can't roll back my drivers, I can't uninstall an update, even as administrator. I'm simply trapped with this terrible update.

    Guess what, I've had another update installed. All it does it take up more space in the hard drive and nothing more. The options and situation haven't changed.

    For this update issue with Windows 10 update.  Nothing works.  I've changed resolution, even did a system restore.  OMG  what a mess.  Please fix this awful mess right away.

    I tried these. Not knowing much about computers it took me awhile.  I either don't have some of the things you mentioned on my computer or you have already ruled some of the fixes before hand ie. options one and two.  I don't have what option three calls for nor do I know where to find it and option four did nothing.  I guess I will sit back with everyone else unhappy with my computer  :(
