Screen resolution doesn't scale correctly on Windows 10

[Malcolm97]

Hi,
I just built a new rig recently, I've got LG 22M45H-B 1080p monitor and MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G gpu. After settings things up, installing os and drivers, i just realized that my desktop screen was cut off at top-left side, I've tried moving the screen through the nvidia control panel, then found out that my desktop screen was actually a bit bigger than my monitor screen, so moving the screen wont change anything, then tried checking graphics driver and monitor driver and they are all up to date. Tried change the monitor settings, not helping, so change it back to default. But while playing games, the resolution looks normal, no sides are cut-off. Could somebody help me? Is there anything to do with the vga cables or something?

Just so I understand right. Your normal Windows screen is cut off on the top left, but when you play games the visual is centered? Do windows by themselves center okay if you maximize them?

How can I maximize it?

You click the square in the middle of the icons on the top right. Or double click on the top of the window.

It sounds like the native resolution may be off. Can you work with the resolution to see if its better adjusted? You can find resolution options in the display properties.
