  1. Display Scaling values


    My custom Scaling value has been set too high and I can no longer use the screen, the characters and symbols are much too big. How do I reset Scaling to its original or default value? I have reset Win 10 but it made no difference.

    :)

    Hi,

    This issue with display scaling can be caused by an outdated display driver.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest updating your display driver directly from the manufacturer's website.

    You can also refer to this article for more information on how to update the driver on Windows 10.

    How do I globally disable display auto-scaling?

    Hi,

    In reply to your query with disabling automatic scaling while connecting an external interface.

    The scaling is adjusted with the display resolution in dots per inch (DPI) with device you connecting with your PC and its by design.

    However you can set a custom scaling level.


    To set a custom scaling level :

    1. Type "dpiscaling" in the search area on the taskbar and select dpiscaling.

    2. Change the scaling settings in the display window.

    3. In the display window, you can click on set a custom scaling level option and check if it helps.

    Also you can provide us your valuable suggestion in our feedback app.

    Follow the steps :

    1.Type Feedback in search bar.

    2. Select/double click the Feedback app from the listed option in search.

    3. Follow online instruction.

    Keep us informed with the status of the issue.
