Windows 10: The Scale Settings of my laptop is affecting the resolution of multiple apps/some gui.

I have my scale set to 200%, it doesn't affect the resolution of every single app/GUI, but in some apps, it tweaks out and halves the resolution.The only fix I have found for this is to decrease the scale to 100%, which makes everything really small, I have tried to increase the size of letters to fix it, but the GUI is still very small.What am I to do?

Screen Resolution and Scaling

Hi all,

A while back when I got my laptop it was early on in the 4k days. I was using an external monitor concurrently with the laptop screen and had to change some settings in order for the scaling to work properly. I cannot remember what those settings were now.
I don't use the external monitor now and am having some scaling issues on the laptop screen. For instance, when I select scaling to 250% (recommended) all of the apps appear really good, except documents in multiple apps show the document as being too small
when zoomed at 100% (word, acrobat etc.). When I select scaling to 300% the documents appear at actual size on my screen, but the actual app appears terribly bulky. How can I resolve this? As in keep my app scaling as it is but make it so that documents appear
at their real size on my screen?

Thanks in advance!

Jackson.

 

Change the Resolution setting on the moniter

Hello, to change your screen resolution, please follow these steps:

1) Open Start, select Settings then select System and then select Display. Alternatively, you can right click the background on your desktop, and select Display Settings.

2) Under Scale and layout, check the setting under Change the size of text, apps, and other items. We suggest you use the percentage marked "(Recommended)."

3) If that doesn't solve your problem, under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked "(Recommended)."

Custom Display Scaling on Multiple Monitors w/ Dock

Hello,

I've encountered the world's most infuriating problem for which I do not believe there is a solution. I recently purchased an HP ZBook 14u w/ it's associated thunderbolt dock. I have two 24" 4K displays connected to the dock. For the monitors, under scale
and layout I've set scaling to 225% (which IS listed under available pre-set scaling options) and they look fantastic. For the laptop screen however, the recommended setting is 300% (too big) with the setting below that being 250% (too small). Setting a custom
scale of 275% is perfect. The problem is, if I set custom scaling on the laptop screen, and then plug it into the dock, it carries over to the two monitors (changing them to 275%) making them too big. It seems there is no way to set custom scaling for an individual
display. It also seems that there is no way to add a certain scale percentage (in this case 275%) to the list of available options within the settings on the laptop screen without setting a custom number.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Are there any drivers, registry tweaks or custom apps that can allow me to set custom scaling for an individual screen and not have it carry over to all the displays when I connect the laptop to the dock?
