Windows 10: How to change scaling setting individually for an application?

My usual scaling setting is 125%, yet I have an application that can only run under scaling setting of 100%. Global scaling of 100% is too small and uncomfortable for my eyes. Is there any way to individually adjust scaling for an app? Like 100% to this app but keep 125% to other things.

Change the display scale for an individual application

Hi,

Windows 11.

I have an old application which does not scale itself. I need it to scale to 125% to be readable -- the font it uses is too small.

What I'd want:

Set Windows scale at 100%

Set the application at 125%

However, I can't seem to find a way to do that. The Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI setting can only go with either system or application.

Is there a way to change the scale of an individual application to scale up?

Thanks
