#Game window wrong size/resolution problem

Just bought a Slim 5 RTX4070 16”.
When I try to open Apex Legends, I cannot click on anything on my laptop monitor. When I drag it to the other monitor, I can click, but the screen is zoomed in so I can’t change the resolution or display settings, cause I can’t reach the “apply” button down below.
What should I do?
The computer is refurbished, motherboard changed but otherwise should be brand new.

and make sure games are actually running on that primary monitor

#

games running on the non-primary monitor will not behave well

#

which monitor are you trying to use anyways, the laptop or the external monitor

The external. I set it as the main display now. but the problem still remains

#

How do I make sure the game is running on that monitor?

#

temporarily turn off the internal monitor (set windows to output to the external monitor only)

#

launch the game, hopefully apex properly resets itself, set some settings to apply to confirm, then you can extend monitors again

#

future games should be able to detect your external monitor as primary and behave correctly
