My resolution is 800x600 on my laptop but it is stretched. How can I fix this.

It didn't work. Do I have to delete and reinstall completely or can I just update? |

I updated the drivers and restarted and it didn't work. Is 800x600 the native resolution of your laptop screen? If not, then that's the problem. (Modern) Laptop screens don't like having lower resolutions than it's supposed to be, even if it's the same aspect ratio, so it appears stretched or pixelated. |

No it's native 1920x1080 but it has been 800x600 since I first got it in February, it's only causing issues now. It used to display perfectly in 800x600 and 1024x768 |
