How to Fix: NVIDIA Driver 596.49 Scaling Bug? “Aspect Ratio” Keeps Reverting Automatica

NVIDIA driver scaling issue causes aspect ratio to revert automatically. Fix involves updating graphics drivers or adjusting display settings.

The NVIDIA Driver 596.49 Scaling Bug is caused by a conflict between the driver's scaling settings and the system's display settings.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:

  1. Step 1: Update the NVIDIA Control Panel: Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and go to 'Display' > 'Display Settings'. Ensure that the 'Aspect Ratio' is set to a fixed value (e.g., 16:9) instead of 'Auto'.
  2. Step 2: Disable Adaptive-Sync: Go to 'Display' > 'Display Settings' and uncheck the box next to 'Adaptive-Sync'. This will prevent the driver from adjusting the display settings based on the game's frame rate.
  3. Step 3: Update Graphics Drivers: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command `nvidia-settings -q all=1` to update the graphics drivers. Then, restart your system.
