I noticed since I started playing again, I have developed a slice in my driving.

Video and post.  There could be a million causes.

The big one for me is when I want to really hit it my ball position can creep forward, which makes me hit the ball out to in on the backside of the circle and produces a slice.  Try moving the ball position back toward the center of your stance.  It worked for me, but it is by no means a catch-all salve.

Just keep swinging.

I assume that before you didn't have a slice. After a long lay-off from the game your arm speed isn't where it used to be. What is likely happening is the body is moving faster than the hands thru impact, which opens the face. This happens to me a lot when I haven't played in a while - my body's not up to 'golf speed' yet.

Ya I hate long layoffs during the winter months. It seems everything goes to hell, and it takes 2 months to get back into the groove.

Just go to the range and practice and figure it out.

just a couple weeks for me and i start to slice my drives.  for me, its my swing path, and i fix it by lowering my swing angle when i start my backswing.   after a layoff, i seem to end up with the club over my head instead of behind my shoulders.

Go to the range and practice different grip and stance corrections to see if it's something as simple as that.  I went to the range yesterday and was hooking my irons.  A slight change in ball position and a grip change changed my hook to a straight ball or a draw.
