    How can I scale some apps differently from the rest of Windows 11?


    The Microsoft Office apps, when scaled to 125%, look ridiculous on my 13.3″ screen - they are unusable, especially Outlook. It's mouse input, not touch. I cannot find a Compatibility tab when checking the properties of, for example, the WINWORD.EXE. So I cannot scale DPI, as suggested in most guides I found online. Can you recommend any other way?

    :)

    Chrome (& chromium) browser scale is bigger than the rest in Windows10

    Another workaround that seems to fix the overall Chrome window better is this:

    In my case, this is what I did:

    Now the overall UI looks consistent with the rest of Windows general scale, except for the tabs which now show a tiny text.
    Again, not perfect, but very close.
    Hope this can help others in the same situation.
