Do you mean it is now stretched and with letterboxes or stretching doesn't work anymore?

go into nivida control pannel, click on "adjust desktop size and position" (this should be on the left hand sidebar. Under the "Scaling" tab, you should see "Select a scaling mode" and then make sure "stretched" is selected. This should fix your issue.

you might be laucnhing tf2 in fullscreen mode, which resets screen resolution options. launch in 4:3 at the 4:3 resolution, but add -windowed -h <height> -w <width>, and the black bars should disappear in tf2
worked for me at least, and ive got a shitty onboard intel chip, so if i can do it...

Install the application and make hotkeys for the 2 resolutions, make the first resolution the default res your computer usually runs on and launch tf2. After tf2 is launched, tab out and use the hotkey for the second resolution, which you should set to a 4:3 resolution, when you tab back into the game it will be stretched.

I too had this problem when upgrading with intel integrated, what you need to do is set your resolution to 640 x 480 before you start tf2 and it will auto-stretch, for some reason Windows 10 doesn't have 640 x 480 listed in the default resolutions to choose from so you will need another program (HRC) to change it. There might be another way but I haven't found it yet, you will need to download HRC (already linked in another post). It is a very straight forward program.
http://i.imgur.com/M5Gjz1r.png
You will make it look like this, and replace 1600 x 900 with your default resolution, to find your default resolution right click on your desktop, display settings, advanced display settings and it should show.
When you want to play tf2, you right click on the HRC icon in the taskbar, and select 640 x 480, when you exit out of tf2 you will right click on it again and select your default resolution so everything is back to normal.
And make sure tf2 itself is starting in 640 x 480 or else this isn't going to work, just check the tf2 settings in-game to make sure it says 640 x 480
For some reason Intel doesn't auto-stretch, I don't know why. I think I was clear but add me if you need help
