Here’s a concise write-up on , including what it is, why it happens, and how to fix it. Understanding and Fixing Overscan in Windows 11 What is overscan? Overscan is when a TV or monitor crops the edges of the computer’s display image, making the taskbar, icons, or Start button appear partially cut off or too close to the screen border. Historically, overscan was used in analog TV broadcasts to hide visual noise at the edges, but modern displays (especially HDTVs used as PC monitors) can still apply overscan unintentionally.
When connecting a Windows 11 PC to a TV, always set the TV’s input label to “PC” or “Computer” – this often disables overscan processing automatically.
