    How can I get 'Change high DPI settings' to work?


    Applications (a game in this case) have Property sheets.

    "Properties" > _/Compatibility\_ > --Settings-- > [Change high DPI settings] opens a secondary dialog with the following controls:


    Program DPI
    [_] Use this setting...
    [I signed in to Windows]
    [I open this program]

    High DPI scaling override
    [_] Override high DPI...
    [Application]
    [System]
    [System (Enhanced)]


    I've tried all 12 combinations. They appear to do nothing.


    I think these Property settings are meant to control graphic scaling, useful for high DPI systems. My laptop has a 3840x2160 display.


    Can anyone tell me how to get 'Change high DPI settings' to work?


    Warm Regards,

    Mark.

    :)
