    How can I scale the Remote Desktop window on a 4k monitor?


    I have a new 15.6" laptop and 27" external monitor. Both the laptop display and external monitor are 4k. So far the only app that does not scale properly is Remote Desktop. When I RD to another Win 10 Pro system the fonts in the RD window are so small that they are barely readable on the 27" monitor and unreadable on the laptop display. The "solutions" I have found using Google do not work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    How can I scale the Remote Desktop window on a 4k monitor?

    4k Resolution scaling but then watching a 4k video

    Hi,

    I am building a PC with windows 10. I have yet to buy my monitor.

    I'm considering buying a 4k/UHD monitor but given the issues you can have with scaling (i.e. when using program's that aren't set up to cope with the scaling and therefore show up blurred) I am wondering if it is worth it at this point in the 4k/windows
    infancy? Its worth pointing out that I am thinking of buying a monitor no bigger than 24" so not using scaling won't be very good as the task bar will be tiny.

    Also, (my main question) when you use the scaling its effectively at Full HD resolution, correct me if I'm wrong, so what happens when scaling is on and I want to watch a 4k video. Will it be shown in 1080p or 4k? How does it work? What is the scaling actually
    doing.

    Thanks in advance.
