Seemingly all of a sudden my display is stretched on my monitor and the resolution is poor. I have tried every thing...adjustments in the display menu, swapped display card, updated drivers, swapped monitors, ran virus software. Ran youtube videos for advice. Nothing seems to correct my problem. I also noticed that my display menu is not the same as the Windows 10 display menu.

Have you had an update to your graphics driver? It seems MS is offering an incorrect driver for certain graphics cards, the solution is to roll back the driver or uninstall the driver & install a previous/older one.
This is the display driver that is installed:
This is what I get when I try to install the manufactor's driver:
I just put this graphics in yesterday to see if that cleared up my problem. It did not.
I also can not run restore...it get's hung up initializing
Ok,i guess we will run with this..
Can you try another monitor,to see if this issue is the same on it? Also what about Bastet question on the drivers?

Hi hille005.
It seems you have both the integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 video adapter and a dedicated NVidia video card installed on your machine.
What NVidia video card do you have installed on your computer?

I have just the ATI Radeon HD 4200 now. I plugged in the NVIDIA video card to see if that corrected my problem, it did not so I took it out.
The integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 is very old and is not officially supported on Windows 10 and is no longer receiving driver updates anymore from AMD.
Do you want to reinstall the NVidia video card and we can try and get the drivers to install properly?

Thank you, Evan Omo. That was exactly my problem. I ran out and bought a NEW graphics card, Gigabyte GEFORCE GT 1030. installed it and nothing was changed 
. Then all of a sudden my computer went beep beep, the screen turned black and then came on and it is now normal!!! this thing has been failing for awhile I think. My text was low resolution for a couple of months...then the stretching of the the whole display. But thank you, thank you. I am GOOD now!!
