Settings- Any time I start my computer I always check my settings for windows 11 pro, but it displays it in the wrong dimensions. Ive tried multiple troubleshooting steps via recommendations through the internet, and nothing has worked. I provide a couple images showing what it looks like as well. Please keep in mind I have had this issue since August BUT before that I didn't have any issues with my display & resolutions or sizing and now it's just a nuisance. I also have tried
terminating settings, repairing and resetting settings which didn't work or help. NOTE: This only happens when I turn my computer on for the day or need to restart and it displays it in this small box after resizing it and leave my computer on it will stay at the right full screen size.

If your graphics drivers have been already updated... etc.

Open the Settings App.

Go to System - Recovery.

Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Updates' section and wait for that process to complete.

This process should fix any corruption in Windows and will not affect your files, settings or installed apps.
