Windows 10: Trouble with screen resolution

Hi, my name is Tyler. I am using a windows 11 PC and I have ran into this weird glitch that occurs when I adjust the display resolution. When I change the screen resolution to 800x600, for some reason, the computer screen shrinks to a small box in the center with a black border around it. The same thing happens when I start a program that adjusts the screen resolution automatically. I have attached an image of my screen to provide a visual representation. This did not use to happen. Normally, there is supposed to be a full screen zoom in on the display image. This hasn't been the case t
