right click on your desktop, select “change resolution” then pick the one you like.

Did @DrBill‘s suggestion work for you? If not, it could be as simple as using the “Ctrl -” keystroke combination to return it back, just as using “Ctrl +” makes the screen zoom out. I use them fairly regularly. Sometimes it happens by accident when the left pinky finger goes for the “Shift” key and hits the “Ctrl” key instead.

Hold the control key and then the twiddle the center wheel on your mouse.

@Pied_Pfeffer Yeah I got it thanks. I just installed the new OS and couldn’t figure out how to reduce magnification. And the Ctrl – thing wasn’t working. Thanks everyone! All good now :D
