PC desktop is super zoomed in

How do I fix this?
It wasn’t like this last night, but when I booted up this morning, it was super zoomed in. The taskbar takes up like 1/4 of the screen. I can’t fix it because I can’t access the vase majority of the screen. How the heck do I fix this and why does this happen?
Running Windows 10. Have already done all the basic stupid fixes (unplug/plug back in, use different hdmi port, different monitor, zoom, etc)

Try sitting further away from the screen

Make sure there are no new updates. Anything random plugged in?
May need to adjust your display settings.

right click on your desktop > Display settings > adjust resolution?

The screen is too zoomed in to get to those options

Sometimes a program runs that has to be forced down in resolution and it "sticks" when you come out of it.
I would suggest plugging in a different display altogether (if available) and see if that triggers some reasonable default resolution. However, switching HDMI/display ports should have accomplished the same thing.

Can you adjust the resolution on your physical monitor?

Boot PC, press and hold power to perform hard shut down. Repeat until recovery options appear. Select see advanced recovery options. Select troubleshoot -> advanced options -> startup settings and then click restart
Press 4 to boot into safe mode and set scaling to 100%. Reboot

Start Key and + or -, zooms in and out.

Not a bios issue.
+\- not working
I think it may have had something to do with a windows update. Someone else I know had a video card problem after the most recent update. Not sure I can roll it back, though, because I can’t access anything because it’s off screen

So it's still zoomed in even after booting to safe mode?

Not zoomed in in safe mode, but no zoom options

Sounds like a fubar video driver

Turned out it was a weird setting caused by an update. It was tough to get to the actual spot to switch it off, but got if done.
