  2. Toggle Override High DPI Scaling Behavior for *ALL apps* on

    My laptop screen is 15.6 inches in size, and its resolution is 1920x1080, thus windows is reccomending me to keep the screen scale at 125%, because if I keep it at 100% everything will be zoomed out: tiny and hard to read. However, if I keep it at 125% all
    apps are going to be blurry unless I toggle Override High DPI Scaling Behavior on in the compatibility tab settings, though it does not work for system apps (system apps such as Device Manager will stay blurry on 125% scale) and I would have to do it for every
    single app. The Let Windows Try to Fix Blurry Apps option does absolutely nothing as well.

    So, I'm asking if there is a way to toggle Override High DPI Scaling Behavior (override by application) for all apps including system apps, so there will be no blur while keeping the screen scale at 125%.

    Edit files in the WindowsApps folder or Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps

    I'm trying to fix some visual issues with some windows apps in regards to high resolution monitors. Normally with any other app I can use the Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps setting on the .exe file or create a .manifest file to fix
    the scaling issues. If I could edit the manifest file for the windows app or if the Override high DPI scaling behavior for Windows Apps worked for windows apps I could fix the issues.

  4. override high dpi scaling behavior doesn't do anything

    "Override high DPI scaling behavior" is reset upon close

    Hello,

    To improve visibility of a exe file I have I go through these steps:
    - "Properties"
    - "Compatibility"
    - Clicked on "Change high DPI settings"
    - Clicked on "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
    - Selected "System (Enhanced)"
    - Press "OK"
    - Press "Apply"

    After seeing the improvement on the scaling of the specific exe application, once I close it and reopen it, the scaling is back to the default setting. This makes me change the setting every time prior to opening the application.

    How can I make it so that it remains under these settings?

    I tried to add a registry entry but couldn't find how exactly.

    Thank you override high dpi scaling behavior doesn't do anything :)
