Lol, it seems the Windows 10 updater picks whatever screen mode it can and then just assumes it's being stretched to 16:9 by a poorly configured monitor. Running on QEMU I get an anamorphic squished display.pic.twitter.com/EY6YouMOkL
This is a "good idea", in the sense that that I bet 95%+ of Windows users have their monitors configured like this. OTOH, that 95% doesn't give a damn about it. But the remaining 5% of us do. And we're just going to point and laugh at whoever thought this was a good idea.
Feels very Microsoft, really. Make an inconsequential updater screen look pretty for the 95% of people who couldn't care less about such things. Make it look ugly for the 5% that do.
It’s better with uefi if it initialized correctly
Sure, I'm sure if it finds a 16:9 mode it'll use it. The silly thing is that if it doesn't it seemingly decides it needs to squish the entire framebuffer (in software, presumably) on the arbitrary assumption that the user's monitor is 16:9 and configured in stretch mode.
Some monitors these days don't even allow configuring anymore. Especially true for notebook screens.
Notebooks only have a single resolution. It's up to the GPU to scale. When an OS driver is loaded, the driver controls that. Before, in VESA/UEFI modes, it's down to the video BIOS. Unfortunately, yeah, many of them will stretch scale (and there's no option to change that).
If it's a VESA only mode, it's probably the best solution. If it has full EDID parsing and a proper framebuffer driver for this GPU, then it sucks.
If this hypothesis is verified (VESA-only), I'm convinced you'd have done the same here for a few hundred millions users.
Actually when I came back to it this morning it was stuck on a blue screen (I *think* it wasn't a BSOD but I'm not sure). Will have to check later if it boots.
