My Windows display settings were changed, and now my taskbar looks enlarged and my screen colors look lighter than before. My display resolution and scaling are back to their recommended settings, but my PC still doesn't look the way it did originally. I need help restoring my original Windows display appearance.

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Community.

    Good afternoon, @Mario Gomez . Based on your description, it seems your video drivers may have been removed or corrupted. Let’s try a basic test:

    1. Press the following keys simultaneously: Win + Ctrl + Shift + B

    Has the display returned to normal?

    1. If not, right-click the Start menu icon -> Device Manager -> Display adapters -> Expand the category, select the driver, and click "Uninstall." If prompted, confirm the removal of the driver and restart your computer.

    Windows should detect and reinstall the generic drivers; please check if everything is working as expected.
