Well, I can't 100% blame it on Win10 AE, because I also switched from an AMD 290X to a GTX 1070, but for whatever reason, my texts and window are seriously jacked up. I haven't changed a single setting from stock, so I know it's not a misconfiguration on my end. I have three Asus 1080P 27" monitors, but the issues I'm having look kinda of like what you get when you have a 4k monitor.

Some text is so small, I can't even read it, while some windows are so big, I can't even hit the ok/cancel buttons at the bottom. I've attached a few screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

Another annoying thing... even though I have my middle monitor set as the primary display, my icons keep switching back to the left monitor.

I had none of these issues with the original Win10 release. Hopefully someone can help.

Here's another example (TeamSpeak). I can't read the text because it's so small... but then the maximize/minimize/close buttons take up 10% of the window.

Go to Control Panel > Display, what is your text size set at?

Another area to check is right click on desktop > Display Settings > and check your scaling level under 'Change the size of text, apps and other items'.

Click to expand...
Under "Change the size of text, apps and other items", it's set to "100% Recommended". The only time I mess with that is on UHD/4K displays, where I put it to 200-250. Never had to touch that for a 1080P display.

Under Advanced Display Settings > Advanced Sizing of text and other items, "Change only the text size is all set to 9".

I do have to say, it only seems to be certain apps. Chrome looks normal (albeit, "fuzzy"), but if a Chrome App fires up (eg: GoToMeeting), it's too big to fit on the screen. TeamSpeak is also ridiculously screwed up... to the point where I can't read any text. It worked fine on my first Win10 build.
