  1. Is there a way to change text scaling very quickly?


    Is there a way to change the text scaling quicker than opening settings and burrowing through the menus? For instance is there a way to do it at the command line that could be turned into a script I could run with one click? The recommended (and most comfortable) scaling on my laptop is 150%, but I often need to to change to 100% to do things like web development, DAW and video editing, and I want to be able to do this quickly and get back quickly to 150%.

    :)

    Hotkey for changing scaling level?


    Are there any way to create a hotkey or so to quickly change scaling level in Win10?

    I have my PC hooked up to a TV and sometimes I want to change the scaling quickly for some programs.

    Any chance of this happening?
