Hi Guys, Any help would be appreciated!! Since the big windows update last week, the boxes for dive control, minimap, speed control etc are huge on my screen. All the in-game setting are the same as before. I cannot see my own subs. Everything was fine before the update. I do not know how to fix this and I love playing Cold Waters, please help!!

This is an indication that you are not playing at your monitor's 'native resolution'.
Check if the update has interfered with your grafic card driver, maybe you need to re-install it.
Right-click on your desktop > Screen Resolution. Here the maximum supported resolution should be set for your monitor. After that make sure the in-game setting has the same resolution. If this is not possible for some reason, then re-install the GPU driver.

Check your scaling at the same time - that can throw the game windows out if its incorrect and if your not at native res its very likely.

If you dont run at native res for a reason make sure the game and your set res for desktop match and set the scaling to keep it in the middle of your screen (probably center but it depends if your nvidia/ati or intel iris)

Thanks for your replies guys. I think that all my settings are the same both in-game and on windows 10. I will recheck and re-install the drivers for my video card. I think I installed new the latest drivers just before the windows update. Will post here to let you know how I get on.
Thanks again
