Greetings from Greece!
Here's my problem. I was using my laptop for a project and I left my office for 2 minutes. When I came back the screen had got extremely zoomed out. I restarted the laptop and since then the screen is zoomed in (very very zoomed in). I restarted it again but no change. Can you guide me to fix it?
Thanks!

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
Riddle_Decipher is at your service.
As I understand the screen has zoomed and doesn't switch back to normal,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
Did you attempt changing the resolution of your screen?
Have you updated the video card drivers since the issue occurred?
Is the entire screen on the laptop zoomed or is it zoomed only on a specific browser or program?
Did you attempt a system restore to an earlier date it had been working fine?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to know:
Using the click-wheel on your mouse
If you have a mouse with a click-wheel attached to your computer, you can use it to make objects larger or smaller.
-
Click anywhere on the Windows desktop or open the Web page you would like to view.
-
Press and hold the CTRL key on your keyboard.
-
Roll the scroll wheel on the mouse to shrink or enlarge the objects on the screen
Figure : CTRL + Mouse Scroll
Using the Windows Display options
You can choose from one of three size settings in Windows to enlarge the visual objects, such as font size and icon size, shown in Windows.
-
Search Windows for Display and select Display from the list of search results.
-
Select Smaller, Medium, or Larger, and then click Apply.
