Apparently you have to uncheck the box where it says Show compatible Hardware then wait a bit for it to populate the box

Yeah no, I did end up finding it after waiting a bit.  It just didn't work.

OK it was a suggestion from Microsoft.  Worth a shot.  

 

Try to catch Explorer.exe when it is showing a lot of CPU use and right click and select Properties and then Threads.  That might point at some other problem.

I don't see anything in the CPU column.  Appears you need to click on Process column header first.  Otherwise it doesn't have the CPU values.

Good catch.  Since it's talking about DPI for Monitor I assume this is related to the video driver tho there is a setting in Control Panel, Display where you can set the DPI.  It's set by default to 100% but sometimes with newer monitors increasing it is necessary to make things big enough to read.  

 

Search for

 

display

and hit Enter.

 

Does yours have the Smaller (100 %) selected?

 

See if you can update your video driver.

It's set at 125% which is recommended.  I tried going to 100% but ur right things are way too small to read.

 

I don't know if the driver is updated not sure how to check

Go into Device Manager.

 

Look under Display Adapters right click on your adapter and update.  If it says it doesn't need an update then right click and select Properties then Driver and see if Rollback Driver is lit.

Sometimes just uninstalling the driver, rebooting will fix driver problems.

What version and date is it showing under Driver?

 

Right click on your display adapter and select properties then click on the Details tab.  Change Property to Hardware IDs.  Click on the top one then right click and copy.  Paste that into a reply.
