    Not sure what else to say. Just need stuff to be bigger. Searching indicates 200% is possible in some setups, for some reason not on mine. Have an nvidia 960 card. Have tried using those settings as well without luck.

    File explorer crashing when scaling at 175%

    Problem also for the MacBook 13" early 2015 with bootcamp to Windows 10 Pro.

    Videocard: Intel Iris 6100 Pro.

    Monitor: Internal Retina Display, 2560x1600

    Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit, 10.0.10586 Build 10586

    Scaling at 150% or 200% works fine, problem with scaling 175%.

    Too many different Laptop models are affected by this problem. It's not related to a single manufacturer. (Even different graphic card manufacturers!)

    I guess it's definitely your turn Microsoft. Fix it, or remove 175% option.

    How to Set Custom DPI Scaling For Dual Monitor

    Hello everyone.

    I want to set my first monitor's dpi scale to 134%. And second monitor to 100%. But I couldn't do it.

    So, windows only offers me 134% for all monitors or (100-125-150-175-200) for first monitor and (100-125-150-175-200)% for second monitor.(Only presets)

    This is ridiculous. We are in 2019.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Dual Monitor Setup issues - 4k and 1080p combination

    The issue is worse than it seems at first. I have a 4k display (200%) scaling and a 1080p display (100% scaling) and even office apps look blurry on the 1080p display. If I unplug the 4k display and reboot the problem goes away. I believe the problem is
    present on all apps and is a system issue. It's been suggested that to get the 100% scaling everything on both monitors is generated at 200% and then the part on the 1080p display is downsampled to 100%, resulting in the poor quality.

    As it is Windows 10 is almost unusable with a very different DPI dual monitor setup.
