Hello,
Can somebody help? I have a problem where my desktop's display size became too large. I went to display properties and tried to adjust the screen resolution to the right but the slider is grayed out.
I also tried restarting my computer but the display size is the same.

It is likely that your desktop's display became too large, because the driver/s for your video card have been uninstalled. When this happens, Windows defaults to the lowest resolution supported, which makes the display large. Try to reinstall or better yet just update your video card drivers. It's also possible that it wasn't uninstalled from the system, it may have been corrupted.
It's also possible that you are running an older or a very old application that only supports a very low resolution. This would usually force the computer's resolution to reset itself to the application's requirements. Since restarting the computer results to the same problem, this may be one of your computer's background applications. Make sure you run a virus scan or a Malware scan on your computer as well.
