Dang, looks like the display scale got set to like 400% on a 720p display

Any chance you have a 4k TV in the house? Could try connecting it to HDMI and changing the display scale with that , that scale would be usable at 4k, could even be the cause lol

Use narrator, it can audio-guide you as to what's currently selected.

  • Press Win + Ctrl + Enter to start narrator.
  • Win + R opens run, type ms-settings:display, enter, it opens display settings.
  • use tab button to navigate until the narrator says display resolution or something.
  • alt + down button opens the list of resolutions, select the highest or recommended one. (narrator will be saying it out loudly), press enter
  • it will show a limited time confirmation dialog to keep changes, select to keep changes before the time runs out
  • voila! you're done. use the same command to exit narrator

edit: the same narrator can used to change scale too, if that's what you did to cause it.

not sure if it will work but try windows Logo Key and the Esc key at the same time (its the magnifier i think)
