I have Acer, windows 10 the very beginning after you put in you password, and get the screen with you choice on what window you want to go into...(not the small bar on the bottom of screen) the large portion of the screen, somehow my window choices went HUGE the other day...can not figure out how to get the size back to norma...

Am I making any sense?

Your screen resolution got messed up. Check the resolution settings and see if you can manually adjust them back to normal.

Way back on Thanksgiving Microsoft released an update that created chaos by replacing an old video driver with a new one. If you can get into device manager and highlight your video adapter, you might be able to rollback to the old driver. The driver should show you which driver you've currently got installed. If you can't roll back the driver, you can try installing a new driver, but more often than not it's the newest driver that's causing the trouble. If all else fails, you can use the search for drivers on this computer option to find the old driver, then reinstall it. It's typically the oldest driver that works the best.

Right click on any portion of your window. Select View and you can see where you can select the size of your icons. HTH.

Mishka, you are right clicking on your desktop window, not your icons. Just put your cursor in the middle of your desktop window and right click.
