App has resized itself and become virtually unusable

I started up my PC, itch.io opened without issue. I went do the shops, came back and the screen had resized itself to the top of the monitor and nothing I do affects it. I've restarted the app, restarted the PC, all the basics but all I'm left with it is a small black box (see screenshot). I've tried resizing just about everything and am kinda at a loss at what caused this and how to easily undo it... anyone has ideas?

I'm not sure if this falls in "I've tried resizing just about everything..." but in case it doesn't:

Right click on the screen - select display settings. 

Check your settings under scale and layout. 

'Advanced scaling settings' will let you set a specific scale, and it's possible that a game changed the scale and was shut down before changing it back.

Had found similar possible solution elsewhere and tried this but retried just now and when I rightclick, nothing happens. Again nothing changed, fully reinstalled the app itself since I was told that could solve it. But didn't, it's something in the pc. All graphic settings to recommended, nothing special there. Recently did an update to nvidia drivers, maybe that or otherwise something that updated in relation to xbox app and microsoft store perhaps?

Reinstalling the nvidia update, to rule out bad install on that

I also have Windows 10 with intel hd graphics 630 and have had that same problem.
