Interesting. Yeah, I remember back in the day when you would upgrade from Windows 98 to Window 98 SE and it would cause all kinds of strange artifacts like this. People would say don't upgrade one version to another. Always do a fresh install of the current version. In another words. you can try to install Windows 8.1 directly if you can (not going from 8.0 to 8.1).



Well, now that you have the problem...I notice you are in your desktop. When you go into the metro (modern UI) screen and bring up the metro IE and tap in the address bar the keyboard should automatically pop up. Is that keyboard small, too?



Have you tried to use a mouse to resize it??



I looked on some forums and there does not seem to be a fix for this. It is very odd.



Sometimes, simply booting Windows into safe mode will reset certain aspects of the operating system.

You might want to try to boot into safe mode and then boot back into regular mode after. Who knows...



You can also try this..



Refresh the operating system again.

Go into the settings for the Windows Updates and tell it NOT to update the drivers.

Then install all the updates but DON'T update drivers. especially any video drivers.

See if that helps.



You can also try to install each update one at a time and see which one is the culprit causing the

keyboard to shrink. But, I suspect it was a video driver update.
