LR Photos not Auto-Fitting to Window Screen

Within the last 2-3 weeks, I've noticed that the photos in LR do not automatically size to the window. For example a photo will appear slightly zommed in. But when I zoom out so I can see the whole photo, it creates a huge border aorund the photo. Zoom In, Zoom Out, or Zoom to 100$. Where is the "auto-fit" screen option?

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

If this doesn't help we need more informations about your environment.
