How to Fix Zoomed Screen After Upgrading Windows 10 on a Lenovo PC

If you find that your screen is zoomed in after upgrading your Lenovo PC to Windows 10, this guide provides a comprehensive solution. We will walk you through several steps to resolve this issue, from adjusting display settings to updating graphic drivers and checking access settings.

Adjust Display Scaling

The first step in fixing a zoomed screen is to adjust the display scaling settings. Here is how you can do it:

Right-click on the Desktop, then select Display settings.

Scroll down to the Scale and layout section.

Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, set it to 100% or your preferred setting.

If the issue persists, try different scaling percentages to see what works best for you.

Change Screen Resolution

To ensure that your resolution is set correctly, follow these steps:

In the Display settings, scroll to the Resolution section.

Ensure it is set to the recommended resolution for your display, such as 1921080 for most HD screens.

Click Keep changes if prompted.

Update Graphics Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers can cause display issues. You can update them as follows:

Press Windows X and select Device Manager.

Expand the Display adapters section.

Right-click on your graphics card and select Update driver.

Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

Follow the prompts to complete the update. After updating, restart your PC.

Check Ease of Access Settings

If the zoom issue is related to accessibility settings, you can check the following:

Press Windows I to open Settings.

Go to Ease of Access Display.

Ensure that Make everything bigger is set to 100%.

Reset Zoom in Browser or Apps

If the issue is specific to a web browser or application, reset the zoom. Here are the steps:

For browsers: Press Ctrl 0 to reset zoom to default, or use the zoom settings in the menu.

For other apps: Check the app’s settings for zoom or scaling options.

Restart Your Computer

After making these changes, restart your computer to ensure that the settings take effect.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking for any specific Lenovo software or utilities that may need to be updated or adjusted. Additionally, checking the Lenovo support website for any known issues or updates can provide further assistance.

[One simple fix for this problem is to] right-click on the desktop, choose Display settings, and try the top slider on display choice. This should solve the issue.

[Remember, if the Make everything bigger setting is on, turn it off in the Ease of Access settings. This can help ensure that your screen is not zoomed in unnecessarily.]
