    ms-settings windows not scaling properly


    I have been having this issue for quite some time. I have changed display driver, scaling methods, windows display settings. The only way I have found to fix it is to revert scaling to 100% in windows display settings. I am using a 4k monitor. I also have issues with the start menu and taskbar context menus floating. Everything works ok when I first log in. Than after half an hour or so, it seems like explorer refreshes, and it all goes to hell. Is there a way to get this to scale properly? - Thanks

    Hi J,

    The scaling issues with your display monitor can be caused by an outdated operating system. To further isolate the concern, we suggest that you check for the latest update for Windows by following these steps:

    • Click on Start or the Windows Logo on your taskbar.
    • Select Settings or the gear icon and click Updates & security.
    • Click on Check for updates.

    If any updates are found, install it and wait for Windows to complete the update and then restart the device.

    Let us know the result of your troubleshooting.
