Hello, Whenever I start my laptop, the windows boot screen and progressive ring are stretched. I've tried updating and rolling back drivers, I've used CMD, and more. I installed Windows 11 about a month ago on unsupported hardware.

NOTE TO ALL OF YOU. UPDATING DOES NOT FIX IT

Someone told me to go back to Windows 10, I did. Not resolved.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    is that computer a desktop or laptop,.?

    Changed to the one displayed on this answer 1920 X 1080

    to verify. if fix the problem. if not reverse it

    to 1366 X 768

    Did you mean: What's the default resolution for windows 10 screen

    1920×1080

    The default resolution on your primary display (laptop, in this case) will be applied

    to all displays. It's typically 1920×1080. If you want a different resolution

    for one of the additional displays, click on its rectangle.

    A dropdown menu will appear. Nov 9, 2023

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    What method did you use to go back to Windows 10, your screenshot indicates you have a 9 year old version of Windows 10 installed on your PC, the only way to update that version would be to create a bootable Windows 10 USB and use that to install the latest version (22H2) of Windows 10.
