  1. DPI scaling makes my cursor REALLY laggy in some games- tried everything and nothing has...


    This is an issue that has been annoying me since at least 2019. It goes like this: in some games, like fallout4, risk of rain and more notoriously osu!, my cursor feels like its being dragged around, its very laggy, flicks around when im moving it in one direction and is the oppositve of responsive. There is a stark contrast from the way the cursor behaves outside of those apps (on the desktop, for example) and the way it works on said games. This is not a problem of my peripherals, since this happens with 5 different mice, and 2 different drawing tablets.

    This document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/shell-experience/mouse-input-incorrectly-scaled seems to describe whats happening to me pretty accurately, however, the workaround just doesnt work. Not only is the option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" gone entirely, the other options on the compatibility tab also dont work. "Override high dpi scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" does nothing aswell. I tried all 3 modes and they are equally as useless. I also tried putting a custom DPI scaling on the display settings, I put it at 100%, 125%, downloaded this program http://windows10-dpi-fix.xpexplorer.com/ ,nothing has worked so far. Im really desperate for an answer as I cant enjoy these games anymore, and I feel like I have tried everything that I could. If there is a fix for this please let me know.

  3. Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

    Hi there, I have some games here that I'm having a problem with. In Windows 8.1, 8, and 7 when you get the game to run in fullscreen with the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" unchecked and Fullscreen scaling in NVIDIA control panel, the game
    will stretch to fit the screen which is what I am looking for. Windows 10 keeps checking the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" even when I click on Apply then Ok. The game will run in a fullscreen with black bars on each side.

    What I'm asking is, if there is some way for me to make sure that my games run in stretch to fit the screen and to make sure the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" is left unchecked? I've tried different compatibility modes with the same results,
    and as a NVIDIA user Fullscreen scaling is the only option besides aspect ratio and no scaling. Plus I've checked "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" with Perform scaling on: GPU.
