    fix DPI issue with desktop icons and the latter


    I have a new Asus Laptop Q534UXK with display of 3840 x 2160. issue is with icons and apps using this resolution they do not always work correctly when presented on the screen, one issue is with the desktop icons they get jumbled when launching a game and then quit back to the desktop and the icons are all jumbled, also apps most so far do not display correctly. is there a setting i need to change with DPI for this is win 10 broken? i added a sceen shot of the icons on the desktop

    Updated to Windows 10, why are some programs blurry?

    I figured out how to change it if you're having the problem. Right click on the desktop icon of the program that you're having a problem with and go to "properties", then "compatibility" and then "disable display scaling on high DPI settings". Should fix
    the issue.

    Program window size change when laptop lid is closed

    I got the following answer in another forum which solved my re-size problem:

    "Open HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop and set Win8DpiScaling to 1 . This forces the old DPI mode from Windows 8 which will fix the issue (at the expense of no longer having per-monitor DPI scaling)."

    fix DPI issue with desktop icons and the latter

    You might try rt click empty space, View, enable Align to grid.

    Some, when finding icons were being re-arranged (not as you have described) have used 3rd party programs successfully.

    Perhaps someone familiar with switching resolutions like this will have further thoughts.
