  1. Mixed up DPI on dual monitors after sleep on Windows 11


    Primary monitor is 100% scale, second monitor is 150%, 3rd is 150%. After all monitors sleep, and then wake up, windows which are not full screen on the 2nd monitor have the correct overall window size, but their contents are at the wrong dpi, they look smaller. If one of these windows is moved, the window size instantly grows about 2X larger, going of the screen.I thought I found that turning off animations would fix this, because while waking the whole screen would zoom out, aka shrink in size, leaving black bars all around. That didn't fix it. I found similar sounding issues that were

  2. Dual monitors with different DPI settings do not give correct scaling

    An issue with DPI scaling arises when using two different scaling factors. The screen with the lower DPI display is fuzzy/blurred (most easily seen in text).

    Hardware and settings

    These are the hardware and settings involved:

    • 1x primary 3840x2160 27" monitor with DPI scaling set to 150% (because regular text is unreadable at 27").
    • 1x secondary 1920x1080 24" monitor with DPI scaling set to 100%, displaying blurry text and images at these settings.
    Workarounds

    When I use the same DPI scaling on both monitors the display shows correctly. This gives two undesirable workarounds:

    • Setting 100% DPI scale on the UHD screen fixes display, but makes text unreadably small on this monitor.
    • Setting 150% DPI scale on the HD screen fixes display, but makes text so large I barely have any screen space left on this monitor.
    Is there per chance a better solution to this problem? Is this a Windows bug or am I using DPI scaling in the wrong way?

    EDIT: Here's the system info from dxdiag just in case.
