  1. Override high DPI scaling behavior greyed out after I checked it on an app


    Title pretty much says it. I checked the box for that option in an app's properties and then when I wanted to disable it the whole thing just got greyed out and can't uncheck it anymore. Anyone knows why?

    Edit files in the WindowsApps folder or Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps

    I'm trying to fix some visual issues with some windows apps in regards to high resolution monitors. Normally with any other app I can use the Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps setting on the .exe file or create a .manifest file to fix
    the scaling issues. If I could edit the manifest file for the windows app or if the Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps worked for windows apps I could fix the issues.

  3. Regarding High DPI Scaling Behavior In Windows 10 (p)

    Hi David,

    High-DPI scaling improves the way Windows 10 handles automatic scaling per-monitor, which reduces the amount of blur or incorrect size for legacy apps. Here are the three scaling options:

    • System (Enhanced) will make the text and interface look crispier and elements will be sized correctly. This new option will override the way that a particular app handles the DPI scaling, which can result in interface elements and text
      being blurry, and allows Windows 10 to take care of the scaling.
    • Application used to be referred as "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings." Using this option will force the app to run on a per-monitor DPI awareness.
    • When you enabled System, Windows 10 will stretch the interface, bitmap elements, and text will be blurry. This is the standard way Windows 10 handles scaling.

    The new DPI scaling settings are only available for traditional desktop (GDI-based) apps. Windows Store apps cannot be configured with these options because they're already optimized for high pixel density displays.

    Should you need additional information, do let us know.

  4. Override high DPI scaling behavior greyed out after I checked it on an app

    Store app high-DPI override

    I develop a desktop app called Expresii, which uses GPU for realtime processing. It is made into an Store app via Desktop App Converter. I recently added high-DPI support, but since higher DPI also increases the processing / memory needed for rendering,
    some users would find the slower performance to be unbearable:

    High DPI + Windows Store version = slow?

    As a desktop app, we can always go back to using 'system enhanced' by system override if one prefer the state before high-DPI support. Store apps are not allowed to have the override.

    From the Windows Central article: "The new DPI scaling settings are only available for traditional desktop (GDI-based) apps. Windows Store apps cannot be configured with these options because they're already optimized for high pixel density displays."

    I'd like to ask if Microsoft can consider allowing such override, since there're also performance issue associated with high-DPI support.

    Thank you for your attention!
