Shrunken screen on launch

Hey all,

Since Summerset, I've noticed that every so often when launching ESO, the program window is essentially shrunk. The resolution is still the same (1680x1050) and I'm running in full screen, but the window ends up being about 1/4 of my monitor size, and it's then essentially stretched to be full screen. So it of course ends up looking pretty terrible. If I exit and reload the program a few times, it usually goes away eventually.

I'd thought it might be the GeForce Experience, so I uninstalled that, but it's still happening. I've also, to the best of my knowledge, turned off all the Windows Gamebar options in case that was interfering. Still no luck.

Anyone else having this issue and found a fix?

System specs, just in case:

Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.4GHz w/ASUS Z170-E
16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM
750W EVGA (PS)
240GB SSD
1TB Seagate
GeForce GTX 1070 8GB (ASUS Turbo)
Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition)

    Try running in windowed full-screen?

    It should then be forced to be your native resolution.

    Could be a quick fix to your problem.

    I've been having this same issue since Summerset. Often when first logging in, the screensize is either much larger or much smaller than it should be. It can, for a split second, be seen flickering between the different screen sizes before it seemingly settles on a random one. Fully logging out and immediately logging back in always resolves it, at least until the next time I log back in.

    Edit: Display Mode is Fullscreen.
