Decrease scaling below 300%

I have a Lumia 950 and I would like to decrease the scaling below 300% so I can have more tiles and so that the font can be a bit smaller. I have found the registry key that sets this, but it seems that on the Lumia x50 phones you don't have system-level
access. I have found possible solutions took this by Interop Unlocking the phone, but the solutions seem a bit outdated and I would rather not do things such as flash custom ROMs.

So does anyone know of a way to either edit the registry or decrease the scaling\font size or increase the number of tiles on the home screen?

 

How to save Custom scaling

Hi Jay,

Just to make sure I understand correctly, you would like to know how to change the scaling back to the current scale should the settings revert back, is that right? If so, follow the steps below to open the window where you can change and adjust the scaling:

1. Type make text and other items larger or smaller in the search box and open it.

2. In the new Window under "change size of items", click "set a custom scaling level".

3. Here, you will be able to increase or decrease the size of items in the desktop.

4. You will need to save the changes and sign out once you are done.

Hope this helps.
