  1. Windows scaling only for a specific program?


    Don't know where to ask this, I tried searching but did not get anything useful.

    I'm wondering if there is a Program or a command line that makes certain application run at a different scaling than that of default.

    ex.: Game I play has text and UI based on windows scaling and not resolution, therefore running at 4k and 175% scaling, the text is so small it hurts to read, when I increase to 225% scaling the UI is "normal", yet desktop looks too big, which i don't like.

    So my question is, can i make application run at different scaling without changing the monitor settings every time? (i tried overriding DPI in properties but that only works in reverse - makes everything even smaller).

    thanks for any input.
