    DPI scaling fixed and cannot be altered


    Hi I am getting this when I try to change the DPI, I am curious cause originally it wasn't like this ( the scale and layout is fixed and cant be changed) but it happened after I played a game at fullscreen, namely epic battle fantasy 5. Could this be caused by a virus and can it be fixed? DPI scaling fixed and cannot be altered 7b7119b0-3dde-4a73-82bd-200ca689fd1c?upload=true.png

    Is there a way to force DPI scaling?

    Hello,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    Let me answer your query regarding DPI scaling.



    Please be informed that you cannot force a DPI scaling on a particular app, right now there is no option to do that. If you have set a custom scaling level to 250% and if the app doesn’t support, to run the app, you have to disable
    dpi scaling for that particular app.



    You may follow the below steps and check.



    1. You may right-click the application’s shortcut and then click Properties.

    2. On the Compatibility tab, select “Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings” and then click OK.

    3. Now check if you can use the application.



    Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.



    Thank you.
