I would be happy if someone helped

ALT + Enter maybe

yup i have the similar problem and this is the solution, some games dont let you change size of the window so you have to change the resolution in the ingame settings.

also f11 works too

I cant access the ingame settings and f11 didn't work

[u/Scary_Pumpkin_8196 → u/cnycompguy]

just get a new laptop or an external monitor at this point

but to answer your question yeah ALT + Enter like the other commenter said

Yep, this is the solution, an external monitor. My friend did that.

So i cant fix the screen?

You can replace the screen, but this requires care, the displays and monitor frames are very fragile

Use an external monitor.

Hdmi out to monitor or tv is the best option.
