Windows 10: Win10 and its UI Scaling

Hello,
I just built a new PC and made the move from win7 to win 10.

I am being driven up a wall with some of these problems though.

When on my recommended resolution :
3840 x 2160
with scale and layout set to
225%

things look to be the right size (the text does, but the icons are huge, cant seem to customize this)

Problem is,
1) when I launch programs - like steam, they insist on being full screen (without being full screen)
like they never remember how I resized them. Ive right clicked them and played with the properties here, but they are set to run in normal window, and ive messed with some DPI settings to make certain niche elements scale correctly here as well using System (enhanced) .

2) when I exit a full screen game, ALL my windows are resized. Chrome, Steam, Discord, all of that it just becomes this annoying mess that i have to deal with everytime.

This does not happen on 1920x1080.

Any advice please? I feel like im going mad.

:)

 

How to force a UI scaling in Windows 10?

I have a 1920 monitor and my laptop think it is 1024. So I forced the output to 1920 but the display setting still thinks it is a 1024 monitor so no UI scaling is enabled. I like to know how I can force a UI scaling through command prompt. Thanks.

Solution to Photoshop and Audition small or extremely large (200%) UI Scaling fix

You're welcome,

Glad you can follow my instructions and make it work... I find it disappointing that Adobe cannot fix this UI scaling issues years ago on all their products. Their solution in 2015 was to bump up the scaling of Photoshop to 200%, which is extremely too
big to work with and it makes everything out of place.

I had posted this solution on Adobe forum and they deleted my post because they think their 200% scaling solves the tiny UI problem but it has not and brought new problem. The oversized UI...lol

Let's hope Adobe release a new fix that allows users to change the UI scaling to ANY percentage they find fitting for them.

Regards,

Son Pham
