Use display driver uninstaller (DDU) in safe mode.
I don't know why GPU scaling would be or remain checked. Its unchecked by default. In older drivers before the 14.xx beta series, you could only enable or disable GPU scaling options (like full panel size, 1:1, aspect) if you were NOT at the native screen resolution (e.g. 1920x1080). In newer ones, you can change the scaling options, but sometimes the settings don't take effect unless you are at a lower resolution when you change them.
And what GPU scaling really does is this:
When gpu scaling is ENABLED, it takes EVERY resolution that is UNDER the native resolution and scales them based on the native resolution, so every single possible resolution is given a 1920x1080 display signal. So you can make or use strange custom resolutions like 1650x1020 (If I recall correctly) and the GPU would scale them from 1920x1080.
When GPU scaling is DISABLED, all standard monitor resolutions with discrete timings in the edid or registry are displayed by the monitor itself. Any non standard resolutions that are not recognized by the monitor will be handled by the GPU (and thus GPU scaled anyway, even with GPU scaling disabled). GPY scaling disabled does not remove all GPU scaling, as you can now see.
