Hello there, CSSsomd.

Let me help you fix display issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

If you're using a new and high-resolution monitor, we may need to change your default settings for QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Click on the Windows Start menu.
3. Type "QuickBooks" into the search. Then right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Open file location.
4. In the folder, right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and select Properties.
5. Choose Compatibility tab.
6. Select the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox. You can also select Change high DPI settings and then Override high DPI scaling behavior.
7. Click on Apply, then OK.

That should fix any display issues with your QuickBooks, If you still see any issues, You can adjust your view preferences in QuickBooks.

Like this:

1. In QuickBooks, go to the Edit menu.
2. Choose Preferences.
3. Select Desktop View from the list and then the My Preferences tab.
4. In the View section, select the One Window option.

Get back to me and let me know how it goes. I'll be in touch. Have a nice weekend!

I don't see the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings setting.  I'm using Windows10 ver. 20H2 build [removed].  I attached a screenshot of what my Properties window looks like.

Thanks for getting back to us, @CSSsomd. Let's continue the troubleshooting process to see all the buttons on your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) window.

Since you're unable to access the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings option stated above, you'll next need to adjust your view preferences in QuickBooks. You can follow the second set of steps above, then refer to the screenshot below for your reference.

Once you're done, close and reopen QuickBooks and your company file. If the display issue persists, you may change your Windows display settings. Please know that doing this affects all programs on your computer, not just QuickBooks. With this, you may see other display issues. Here's how:

1. Follow the steps from Microsoft to reset the default display settings for Windows 10.
2. Set your screen resolution to at least 1024 x 768. We recommend 1920 x 1080 for the best display.
3. When you're done, reset your computer, open QuickBooks and your company file.

2. Select the option that says Device and right-click the Video card on the screen.
3. Select the Update Driver option.
4. Go to Search. In the display adapters window, write the video card’s name from the device manager. You can do this if you’re updating the device drivers manually.

2. Right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and select Properties in the folder.
