    Windows restricted to half screen when Display scaled to 150%


    We have a situation where a desktop's display is scaled to the top-half of the screen when we adjust the scaling to 150%

    - The start menu and the Task bar are in the right place

    - In fact, if you do not open any windows, you will not realize that there is a problem.


    Once we open a window, it is restricted to only the top half of the screen.

    - We have tried changing resolution to no avail.


    Anyone else experienced similar issue? Any suggestions on how to resolve?


    System specs:

    OS: Win 10 Enterprise - 1903

    Display Adapter: AMD Radeon pro wx 2100

    Problem with display scaling on dual 4K and standard screens

    I have a Dell Precision T5810 workstation running Windows 10 Pro (Xeon E5-1620 processor, 16GB RAM). There are dual displays (extended): Dell S2817Q 4K monitor running at 3840x2160 on the Display Port outlet of an Nvidia Quadro K620 card (Driver version
    397.64) and a second monitor - Dell 2007FP running at 1600x1200 on the DVI outlet.

    I have the 4K monitor with scaling at the recommended 150% and the 2007FP at 100%.

    I have an issue with menu panels in AutoCAD - when I drag a sub-menu (Design Center palette) onto the 2007FP, it displaces from the cursor and only half appears, the rest is off-screen to the right. This is a problem as the title bar is vertical on the right-hand
    edge of the menu, so I cannot drag it back as the cursor is restricted to the physical screen.

    This does not occur with other windows, such as Explorer or Word.

    It is as if the sub-menu retains the 150% scaling of the 4K display when it transfers to the other display instead of taking on the 100% scaling of the 2007FP.

    Is there any settings I have missed?

    Windows 10 Creator's update - Every time I undock, scaling goes to 150%

    We appreciate that you have checked your drivers and followed the suggested troubleshooting steps. Since the issue is still the same, this can be related to the new customer scaling settings that came with the Creator's Update. Can you follow the steps below
    so we can check it for you:

    • Click on Start then Settings.
    • Choose System then Display.
    • Under Display, select Custom scaling and set it to 100%.

    Update us on how it goes as we are eager to get this resolved for you.
