So, I recently updated Windows and the resolution and scale has been completely messed up. I've tried changing the resolution in the settings and none of them work for me. Any more ideas??

Make sure your graphics driver is installed and current these are all 4:3 or close to it resolutions. I'm going to take a guess and say your monitor is a wider monitor (not square)?

Can you elaborate on "messed up"? Items on screen stretched? Black horizontal/vertical bars? What resolution choices do you have?

An image from 'Strange screen resolution'. Windows Display settings showing screen resolution options with 1024 x 768 recommended.

So idk if this is helpful enough but these are the options i'm getting and all of them stretch the screen too much horizontally and everything is just way too big
