  1. Shortcut for changing text and apps scale


    Hello, I am trying to use my PC in living room from afar and it works great when used with 200% scale on text, icons and apps, but switching between 100% when using at desk and 200% when from couch is a bit cumbersome to go through display settings every time. Is there a way to have some simple shortcut (maybe some external app?) to just toggle between 100 and 200%?
