  1. The size of text is changing unexpectedly when laptop is undocked (W10)


    Hi,

    I have seen couple of similar topics in here but there wasn't answer anywhere.


    I'm experiencing an issue with Size of text when I undock my laptop. I'm using 100% all the time on all displays I'm using but when I undock my laptop the text size is bigger (probably 125%) and the settings still shows 100%. There is a workaround I'm using and was also mentioned in forums to manually switch to higher percentage and back. This workaround works for me but it's really annoying to do that 20 times a day. Is there any way to solve this bug so I would not need to do that manually all the time? Don't tell me that this is a feature, please. It is not.


    I'm having Windows 10, DELL Latitude E5570, DELL D3100 docking station with newest drivers so upgrading drivers is not an option.


    Will appreciate any grateful answer.

    BR,

    Vita

    :)

    Undock Windows 10 laptop

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Are you facing any issue while undocking the laptop from docking station?
    As of now there is no such software “undock" button for Windows 10, you can use hardware undock button to undock the laptop.

    Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
