Screen wider then my monitor

I got a new monitor this one ---> http://us.aoc.com/product_feature.php?id=49
My operative system is windows 10
Video card is a GTX960 ----> https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bhqbt6/gigabyte-video-card-gvn960g1gaming4gd
Problem, my desktop is wider then the monitor. Not by a lot but enough that could not see the shortcuts to the left side of my screen. I was able to fix that by shuffling the entire a centimeter to the right, using the button on the monitor, but that just means the screen is now cut off on the right (like I can't see the notification pop up on the tool bar). How to I shrink the screen to fit the monitor? I checked the resolution and it's correct, 1920x1080.
The monitor came with a CD with drivers but I don't have a cd/dvd-player so I didn't install them. Windows 10 should do that for me automatically anyway, right? If not where can I get drivers? I downloaded the one linked on the AOC website. It was a zip file but after unzipping it did not have any executable file so not sure what I am suppose to do with it or even if drivers have anything to do with this problem.

scaling (aspect ratio)
perform scaling on (display)
resolution (1920x1080) (current)
verify that the native resolution listed at the bottom of that page is correct, apply, restart.
If that doesn't do it, you can use the same "adjust desktop size and resolution" setting, but instead of scaling select the size tab. It will let you correct for overscan.
Edit: You shouldn't need drivers for your monitor. They basically never do anything useful. You will need the latest Nvidia Geforce drivers.
Edit2: another solution may be available using your monitors menu, adjusting the overscan setting if there is one, or check to make sure it doesn't have some funky scaling enabled.
What video cables/adapters are you using? Perhaps something has gone wonky in a format conversion?
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Edit: wait, you just said you did that. Hmmm yeah, i would look for a scaling option.
He said he adjusted the position, but if it's too wide he's just shifting the cut off area from one side to the other.
There should be an option to auto adjust/calibrate the monitor settings (height, width, skew, etc), and if not, then there should be a way to manually adjust the width (not just position) so that things are no longer cut off.
