  1. How do I disable display scaling for ONE application only in Windows 10?


    I'm using a 55' TV as my monitor right now...Running everything at 2560x1440p.

    Scale Settings are 175% which are perfect..

    but i need one application to be running at 125% scaling. Tried High DPI scaling override (all of the 3 options) but it wont change anything.

    Obviously the "Open Advanced scaling settings" changes my whole windows 10 settings which is something i dont want to do.



    Any other stuff that i can do?

    How do I globally disable display auto-scaling?

    Hi,

    In reply to your query with disabling automatic scaling while connecting an external interface.

    The scaling is adjusted with the display resolution in dots per inch (DPI) with device you connecting with your PC and its by design.

    However you can set a custom scaling level.


    To set a custom scaling level :

    1. Type "dpiscaling" in the search area on the taskbar and select dpiscaling.

    2. Change the scaling settings in the display window.

    3. In the display window, you can click on set a custom scaling level option and check if it helps.

    Also you can provide us your valuable suggestion in our feedback app.

    Follow the steps :

    1.Type Feedback in search bar.

    2. Select/double click the Feedback app from the listed option in search.

    3. Follow online instruction.

    Keep us informed with the status of the issue.
