This morning when I woke up I found that my computer downloaded updates and
restarted it self. (nothing out of the norm) BUt when I loged on everything
was smaller than usual. My icons were smaller as well as my curser, sidebar,
and web-pages. When I go to a web-site it used to be larger and centered in
the screen, now it is smaller and in the upper left of the monitor.
(27"monitor) I've tried zooming and changing the text size to large but it
doesn't change everything back to normal like the web pages, curser, sidebar
ect....

Please help, I am very frusterated.

The 'default resolution" for a system is the highest it can do. You change
that setting in Control Panel/Personalizations/Display Settings.

Your screen resolution or DPI settings may have changed

#Screen resolution
Right-click desktop > Personalize > Display Settings
Choose 800 x 600
or 1024 x 768 for your screen resolution

#DPI settings
Right-click desktop > Personalize > Adjust font settings (left pane)
[Be careful with this one! Default is 96 ]
