Question Everything on my screen appears zoomed in ?

[Araf125]

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask why is everything on my screen zoomed in ?
I have an Asus b985 board and a GTX 1060 graphics card.

Can anyone please help me ?

Do you mean like the screen resolution changed? Did you just change or install something in your system?

.... Also make sure resolution is set to the highest available. Please let me know if this helped!

WRONG!
Resolution is to be set to the display's native resolution NOT some random higher resolution.

Windows these days does not to go higher than what the monitor supports. At least I have never seen it go beyond native res, in recent years.

It depends entirely on whether or not the monitor's capabilities are able to be reported. If Windows doesn't get that information (bad cable, adapters that don't do 2-way, etc.) then all possible resolutions are presented.

Yes, of course. Windows is smart enough to sense the resolution of the screen, and I know it because I have two monitors with different resolutions.

Not in all cases. You have much to learn youngster.

It doesn't sense anything it simple looks at the EDID info coming from the monitor. If there is no EDID or that info is bad windows will just give a list of resolutions that the display may or may not support.

And unless this is 1988 a current monitor will just display an "out of range" message and switch back to the previous resolution.
We don't have CRT monitors anymore that if you drive them incorrectly they could degrade, it's all digital now, if it's not supported it won't be displayed.
Even for CRT monitors you would have to go way back to find one that will just try to display anything you tell it to.

Yes like the basic vga driver display and every time when the window picks up my gpu driver it goes to black screen of death than i have to start the window in safe mode and disable the driver to make the window work again

The resolution doesn't go above 800x something and its greyed out so that i cannot change it

I don't remeber installing something but bios is zoomed in and screen is also zoomed in after installing a new windows 10

I just had it repaired, my processor pins were damaged.
