Moved to Windows 11 mostly because of horrendous scaling problems on 10 just to find out it's the same mess. On a 1920x1080 laptop screen everything is ridiculously small at default settings, almost unreadable. Changing scaling slider in Display Settings to 150% (why such a huge incremental step???), inserting custom scale factor or Text Size changes made things worse as only certain elements seem to be affected. This also affects the browser and MS Office menu size which become huge to the point they occupy one third of the screen. Practically, most areas within explorer.exe remain small while others become huge in comparison. No middle ground. Changing icon size on desktop from small to medium changed the size of the icon while the text underneath the icons remains tiny small. There is absolutely no proportional scaling method to all elements of the GUI. I know it's Microsoft we're talking about here and I'm pretty sure I know the answer to my question but has anyone found a solution to that? OS and drivers all updated to the latest versions.
Have you tried this? [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Win8DpiScaling"=dword:00000001 Also, have you tried a clean install of Windows 11?
115% is fine. (for me with 2k screen) Code: >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /f /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 00000110 >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /f /v Win8DpiScaling /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001
Complaining won't solve the problem. Are you sure your current resolution is 1920x1080? 100% magnification should be fine for a 1920x1080 resolution. Have you checked the registry? [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "LogPixels"=dword:00000064 "Win8DpiScaling"=dword:00000001 Please post a screenshot.
It's also the actual size of the screen, I'm using 100% with a UHD screen (3840x2160), just because it's 31.5".
