Computer Resolution is Too Small

My resolution on my computer screen has suddenly become much smaller than the size of my monitor. When I look in my settings, it says my resolution is fine. Is there a solution to fix this problem? Thank You!

Hi Christopher,


Since your computer's resolution was fine and it recently changed after the update, you may need to update your graphics driver as well. The steps can be found on this link. On the other hand, you can also try changing the screen resolution by following the steps on this link and see if it will resolve your concern.
