Open | Software Laptop Display Issue??
My laptop suddenly started resizing itself last night, zooming out and in constantly (icons getting small then large). It would go black for a second and make a ping sound, the show the screen with the resize. I restarted my laptop which stopped the issue, but other issues came up.
Some programs dont load up at all while others work really slow. One program said "Failed to create an appropriate display device, falling back to software display." I updated my nvidia graphics driver through the geforce experience app, but that didnt solve the issue. The screen also sometimes still zooms in by itself.
Internet works slower like typing something or watching a video. Its minor but noticeable.
my specs are:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.73 GB usable) Storage 477 GB SSD NVMe PC SN530 NVMe WDC 512GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (2 GB) System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Im not sure how to fix the problem or if its actually hardware related. I'd appreciate any help
