  1. desktop scaling suddenly changed without scaling change


    Hi, i used chrome and when i minimized the window, i saw that the desktop icons where messed up and tiny. Similar problem last year when i bought a new Display with a max resolution of 2560x1440. Problem was solved by scaling the display to 125% and everything was fine. The resolution and scaling are the same as before, but the display is not as much scaled up as before. A scaling of 150% is alot bigger than my scaling and its a bit blurry. Its windows 10 btw, but nothing was changing at that moment. There was an update, but it was fine, till i minimized the window

    :)

  3. Display Scaling Changes Prints Scaling

    I have many machines running Windows 10. All of these machines are affected by the same issue. The monitors are 2560x1440, for some people this makes things too small. One solution is to adjust the resolution to 1920x1080 but then things are fuzzy. The other option is to adjust the scaling at 2560x1440 to 125%. However, when doing this and users print things their prints come out smaller. Change it back to 100% scaling and the go back to normal. Why does changing the screen scaling change the print scaling in the opposite direction? Is there any way around this?

I have multiple desktop icons that have shrunken images, and other graphical...
