    How to remove monitor's black borders after installing win 10


    After win10's installation my external monitor has black borders.


    This was happening also with win7 after installation. with catalyst control center [which I cannot open anymore in win 10 :-(...] I could easily fix the issue:


    - open Catalyst Control Center
    - go to My Digital Flat-Panels
    - choose Scaling Options
    - slide the slider all the way to the right (so that it is a 0%)


    So, this is a monitor scaling options (or border padding I think in windows) issue that I need to fix. I search everywhere but I cannot find any fix in win10.


    My apologies if this is not the right place where to post my question. If this is the case, or if the question is already answered, please let me know where should I go to find an answer.


    Thanks in advance!

    Are you using the latest 15.7.1 driver from AMD? Did you clean install the driver, or get it through Windows Update?

    I know there was an issue with CCC with one of the more recent AMD drivers.

    I actually think that my graphic card is unsupported as I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4670. I downloaded the latest control center for here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows+10+-+64 but it doesn't seem to work.

    If I try to start the old CCC, which I managed to reinstall going to C:\AMD, I get the message "Catalyst Pro Control Center cannot be started"

    My monitor OSD auto adjust is greyed.

    This is so annoying. I'm getting really frustrated . I lost 10% of my screen. Is that possible that there's no way to adjust/scale monitor borders in win 10. It was a known issue in previous version as well with an easy fix.

    Thanks for your help.

    I had exactly the same problem after upgrading from WIN7 Pro to WIN10 Pro. I have an ATI Radeon 4600 Series and using HDMI to HDMI cable.

    For the time being I have reverted back to WIN 7 but if anyone has a solution it would be appreciated.

    Fix for Dell Inspiron 2305 After Upgrading to Windows 10


    Check out https://community.amd.com/thread/184967. This resolved my issue with my Dell Inspiron 2305 running an AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4200 graphics after upgrading to Windows 10. This looks like it will work for Windows 8 and 8.1 as well.
