  1. Make small but high DPI screen be recognized as small screen instead of big screen


    Hey all,
    So I have the following problem. I have 2 monitors:

    monitor 1: Laptop display of my surface book 3000 x 2000

    monitor 2: monitor, Full HD, size-wise significantly bigger than my surface book display.



    The problem is, that monitor 1 is recognized as being bigger than monitor 2.

    Which is why the transition between the two monitors using the mouse is off.

    Is there a setting in Windows 10 to make it recognize the actual size of the monitors instead of the pixel count?

    Thank you a lot in advance!

  2. Interface text and icons too small on high dpi screen

    The text and icons of all Office 2016 Professional suite apps are too small and almost uncomfortable to use on my 15.6 inch laptop screen of 1920X1080 screen resolution. The office suite has all its latest updates installed. Below is an office 2016 Word
    screenshot:

    Please fix this issue so that the office apps scale well on high dpi screens.

    Small feature suggestion - About screen tooltip

    Small feature suggestions - About screen tooltip + forums link

    Suggestion: When you rest the mouse cursor over the videocard brand, a tooltip to appear, saying "About GPU-Z...".
    I think this would be nice. What do you think?

    EDIT: Also, having a link to the program forums (these forums *Smile Make small but high DPI screen be recognized as small screen instead of big screen :)) in the About screen would be nice - some other programs have that, see the Core Temp About screen, for example.

    Some Microsoft Casual Games interface text and icons too small on high dpi screen

    Only three Microsoft Casual Games scale well on my high dpi 15.6 inch laptop screen of 1920x1080 screen resolution, that is, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Microsoft Mahjong and Microsoft Ultimate Word Games o far.

    Below is a screenshot of Microsoft Ultimate word games, a game that scales well on high dpi screen.

    Other Microsoft Casual Games like Microsoft Sudoku, Microsoft Minesweeper, Microsoft Taptiles and other Microsoft Casual Games in the Microsoft Store do not scale well on my high dpi laptop screen. The interface text and icons is almost too small and uncomfortable
    to use. The gameplay is a bit fuzzy. Below is a screenshot of Microsoft Minesweeper, a game that does not scale well on high dpi screen.

    All of these games mentioned above, I have tested their dpi awareness using Sysinternals Process Explorer and found out that they are all Per-Moniter aware. Their scaling doesn't change after changing the scale percentage.
