Windows 10: Script to change of the display scale when disconnected from docking station

Hello Everyone,I use two monitors. the original one of the laptop and an additional external monitor extending displays. I use a docking station when I am working which allows me to use the two monitors. Sometimes I use the laptop on its own without the additional screen. When I am connected to the two screens, I want to have the scale at 150%; but when I disconnect the docking station I want the scale to change to 125%.I understood from a previous post very helpful contributor that it was not possible to have this automatic. Does anyone know if we can write a script to execute the switch?

automatic change of the display scale when disconnected from docking station

Hello Everyone,

I use two monitors. the original one of the laptop and an additional external monitor (extending displays). I use a docking station when I am working which allows me to use the two monitors. Sometimes I use the laptop on its own without the additional screen. When I am connected to the two screens, I want to have the scale at 150%; but when I disconnect the docking station I want the scale to change automatically to 125%; is that possible?

 

Screen snipping doesn't work on USBC docking station?

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

This issue is likely due to a compatibility problem between the USBC docking station and Windows 11. Changing the display scaling percentage on either monitor can cause changes in the screen resolution and aspect ratio, which can affect how screen snipping works. To resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

Check for updates for the USBC docking station and the graphics drivers on the laptop.

Connect the secondary monitor through HDMI instead of USBC to see if the issue still persists.

Try a different USBC docking station, if possible.

If none of the above steps work, you may need to use the screen snipping tool at a display scaling of 100% on either the laptop or the secondary monitor.

Regards.

 

Surface pro 4 Dock Scaling problems

Scaling issues with Apps on Surface 4+docking station+ external monitors:

I have 2 monitors connected through the Surface Pro 4 docking station, and if I extend to Monitor 2 and Monitor 3 - I get same problem:

Skype for business icons and app menu are huge, taking up all the screen space

Power Point is useless because again the menu items are huge

Internet Explorer are the same - huge menu

It does not happen with OneNote, Word is ok, Excel ok. I think its those programs too because nothing I do with the monitors will change that.

Help!!
