I got one of those things in the bottom corner of the screen where the PC informs you that it will need to restart in order to update Windows, I click restart and it does what it normally does… when I come back on the screen is too small and doesnt fit, I changed it to the recommended resolution and its too big, it only just fits now because I changed the scale, but now the whole general appearance of everything isnt as sharp and crisp as it was before, small text is slightly blurry and looks horrible, details on small pictures is pretty bad, in general things dont look as good. Images and icons and all that have these little white outlines barely noticeable that indicate a lack of quality compared to before. Even though the graphics of GW2 were messed up already, you could notice a slight difference after the updates.
So how do I sort this out?
If you have any questions you need answering, I would be happy because I want this problem solved.

Hmm this sounds like quite an out of the ordinary problem to me, so I have to ask if you can give more details on your exact PC setup – in particular what monitor model are you using? What’s your exact graphics card + motherboard? And what type of cable are you using to connect the two together? (including any VGA → DVI convertor plugs you might be using)
Without knowing these sorts of details it’s hard to say what the problem might be here, but my initial suspicions would be on you using a VGA → VGI conversion somewhere.

I always cut off auto update on every PC I build. If I remeber right it tells you to set a backup point before you update (just for problems like this) unless you have it set to update auto. System restore to a date before you updated windows. Or a fresh windows install.
EDIT I never update windows on a working fine system.
