  1. Is there a way to set up a shortcut to adjust the screen scale?


    When working from home, I am using a program that requires my Desktop Settings be set to 100% scale.Since I have two 4k monitors, this means everything is tiny.The best solution I've found is to step down my resolution to 2560 x 1440 and set the scale to 100%.Doing this for two monitors, then switching them back every day is a bit cumbersome.Is there any way to have a preset Display Settings or shortcut to jump from one to the other?I've seen software that can switch resolution, but they don't appear to change scale.

    :)

    I cant adjust the brightness scale on my Asus A43SA ! Please Help.

    Hello,

    I got some issue, i cant adjust the scale brightness on my laptop. When i drag to move the scale to reduce the brightness untill 25%, it will suddenly black screen. Thats mean i cant see anything on screen. I just can adjust it untill 75% but it when plugged

    Whats the Keyboard Shortcut to Adjust Volume?

    Old thread appeared in searching for solutions how to set keyboard shortcuts to adjust Windows 10 volume. Dalchina's helpful pointers lead to finding yet another suitable up-to-date free app by grandmaster Nir Sofer : View / change sound volume on Windows 10/7/8/2008 from command-line or GUI

    Step 1: Fire up SoundVolumeView and find your sound device by selecting (un)mute with right mouse
    Step 2: Go to File menu> Create Desktop Shortcut> select Increase and select Decrease Volume 5%
    Step 3: Right click each shortcut> Properties> Shortcut to set preferred hotkey. E.g. + and - on numpad
    Step 4: Right click each shortcut again> Properties> General and tick Hidden - Apply - Ok

    Voila! Hopefully helpful to someone sometime (Y)

  4. Is there a way to set up a shortcut to adjust the screen scale?

    outlook blurry & advanced scaling settings

    Thank you for the update.

    This issue is common to high DPI external monitors. To resolve follow these steps:

    1. Right-click on your Outlook shortcut, and select Properties.
    2. Go to the Compatibility tab.
    3. Check the Override high DPI scaling behavior checkbox.
    4. Click Apply, then OK.
    5. Launch Outlook.

    Another workaround that worked for other users using external monitor/s is to set one of the external screens as the main display, log off, and then log on.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
