HELP! black bars on the side of my game

[MGDAH]

There are black bars on the side because the resolution you set the game to is lower than your monitor's resolution so it doesn't fill the entire screen.
I suggest playing in windowed mode.

but before the windows update this never happened and I also remember fixing it when I first lowered my resolution but I can't figure how, I think I did something in the Catalyst Control Center but I can't remember what it was

Go into the Nvidia Control panel
Go to 'Adjust desktop size and position'
Set the scaling mode to 'Full-screen'
Hit 'Apply' and exit

The problem isn't Windows 10, it's that you're setting the resolution in your game smaller than your monitor.
This means that you will either:
Play with black bars on the sides/top and bottom
Or have the image stretched.
You can either set it to you monitor's resolution, or set it to windowed mode so that there wouldn't be any bars. (But it will be in a window in front of whatever you have in the background.)

but this never happened before, after I updated to 10 I'm guessing it change all my settings because I used to be able to change it to any resolution and have it in fullscreen in that resolution now I just get black bars if it's not native

I'm guessing before the update it stretched the screen to fill in the black bars. Now it retains the resolution you set it to by putting in black bars.
Either put it into your monitor's resolution or perhaps try windowed mode.

I remember on windows 7 my laptop would just stretch games to fill the screen, since I was running them at the same ratio but below native
now on windows 8 either far cry 4 is having issues, or it's windows 8, as i'm trying to run the game at 1600x900 or 1920x1080 instead of at 3840x2160 (native for my laptop, I tried to change it to 1920x1080 but far cry is still nope) and it's just showing up tiny in the center with black borders for almost the whole screen

exactly, but is there a way to change it how it was before that made it fill up the whole screen when it wasn't native?

You need to set your resolution to one of the same aspect ratio of your scren, how is this hard to understand?
