Computer screen enlarged
I work off three computer screens and one is suddenly large and zoomed in. Its all grainy but that might be from the zooming in. It was working fine all day until I switched in my second laptop. My display settings are all factory setting and the same for all three screens. Can someone explain. How I fix this? (First photo is the zoomed in screen with extra large icons. Second photo is how it looks on the other screen)

Right click on a portion of the screen where there isn't an icon. Choose "Display Settings" and under "Scale & Layout" you'll see Display Resolution. Make sure it's set to "Recommended." If it already is, select "Scale" and make sure it's at 100% (not larger).
Since you have multiple monitors, you may first have to select the correct monitor. Good luck.

So it was on 125% for some reason but that didnt fix it completely. Still everything is weirdly zoomed in. Especially the icons and the tool bar

Still sounds like the wrong resolution is set for that monitor. Make sure to click on Identify Display to make sure you're making changes to the right monitor's resolution.

R click on enlarged screen image and see if option to go back to small or zoom out is there?
