Windows 10: Can I Increase DPI on an App, and keep Display Low DPI

So I'm looking for a way to increase the DPI scaling on a Single application, without effecting or increasing the DPI on the Monitor itself.

I.E 100% Scaling on the Display, and other applications inside that Monitor
125-150%+ on a Chosen Application.

I've seen that settings that I've seen and searched and found through google seem to do the reverse of this and disable High DPI scaling when its set but cannot do the other way around?

I've been unable to find information to figure out how or if its at all possible to do this without resorting to forcing the monitor into a lower resolution.

Increase DPI and font size

Hi,

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

I'm visually impaired and need to increase the DPI (to 150%) and increase the text sizes to 12pt as well as making the text bold (under
Change only the text size). However, the font settings are not persistent. When I reboot the computer, the DPI setting stays in place, while the text size and boldness is back to the default (9 and non-bold). This is very annoying and I might have
to switch back to Windows 7 if this issue can't be solved, as the computer is unusable for me without bold fonts and increased DPI.

Maybe there is a way of making these changes persistent?

Thanks for your help,

David

 

DPI awareness not working for certain apps

Hello coth,

We regret the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

Please be informed, some desktop applications (except for the Modern Apps) may appear somewhat blurry or crisp sharp when you compare them with other applications on the screen. Also, which win32 apps are you referring to in this case?

In order to provide an optimal experience on high-DPI displays, desktop applications have to detect the DPI of the display that is being used and then scale their graphical elements, text, and screen layout appropriately. Some applications do not implement
this. In some cases, the application vendor may be able to provide an updated software version that better supports high-DPI displays.

If there is no updated DPI-aware version of the application available, you may be able to alter the appearance of the application.

You can disable display scaling for an individual desktop app in Windows 10. Here’s how:

• In the search box, type the name of the app.
• Select the app’s tile and tap or click Open file location to open File Explorer on the desktop.
• In File Explorer, tap and hold (or right-click) the app’s executable (.exe) file and select Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• In the Settings section, select Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
  
• Click OK and check with the results.

Write to us with the updated status and the required information related to DPI settings in Windows, for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank You.

 

Finding DPI of an image

When I right-click on an image and go to properties>details, I find Height and width dimensions but no DPI info.

Isn't dpi info supposed to be there?

How can I determine the dpi? And are there ways to increase it?
