Most of the computers resolution is fine: games, the desktop and windows apps have the right resolution. Yet for some reason, since the update, all desktop apps, with the exception of internet explorer for desktop :/ (Chrome, Skype and Steam) have a low resolution. Any ideas/tips?
 
Solution
Right click on the program that has the problem, go to compability and down there is a option saying Disable display scaling on high DPI settings. Check it, apply, ok, reopen the program.
