    Different Scaling on two monitors.


    Hello, On my new Win11 laptop I am unable to set different scaling on my laptops auxiliary monitor. My laptop is 2560x1600 on a 16" monitor and my aux is 35" on 1980x1080.On 100% scaling, the laptop's test is minuscule almost unreadable, so i set it to 125%.Now, my 35" also changes to 125% and displays gigantic text...When I go to scaling, no matter which monitor is selected, it changes both of them equally and at the top shows a notice saying "... ALL YOUR DISPLAYS WILL BE SET TO THE CUSTOMIZED SCALING SIZE..."In my W10, I can set different scaling.What am I doing Wrong? Thank You for Your he

    :)

    Scaling Issue With Extended Monitors

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing scaling issues when you connect a 4K monitor to the PC. For more clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:



    1. What is the make and model of the PC?
    2. How the monitors are connected to the PC?
    3. What is the build version of Windows installed on the PC?
    4. Have you tried updating the display drivers?


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the article
    Windows scaling issues for high-DPI devices     and check if that helps.



    Please get back to us with the required information to assist you further with the issue.



    Regards,

    Different Scaling on two monitors.

    Set different custom scaling for 2 monitors

    I recently purchased a monitor to go along with my laptop. I realize I can have different scales for both the laptop and monitor but only in increments of 25%. Setting a custom scale (140% on my laptop) changes the external monitor to the same scaling, which
    I want to have around 110% or so.

    I tried looking for a solution online already but anyone with the same question never got a proper answer.

    Thank you.
