Are there any way to create a hotkey or so to quickly change scaling level in Win10?
I have my PC hooked up to a TV and sometimes I want to change the scaling quickly for some programs.
Any chance of this happening?
I have already accomplished this. What I hope to do is to have kind of a quick shortcut that actually sets eg. scaling 125% and another one that sets scaling 100%. Something like this. Is it at all possible? I'd even be happy to buy some third party program that could do this for me.
You've now defined the question differently. Hope you get an answer..
Meanwhile here's what I suggest in outline:
Download and install Regshot (free) = just search for it.
With your PC idle- as little activity as you can.. create a snapshot with Regshot.
Now change your scaling.
Create a second snapshot with Regshot.
When finished, Compare.
Inspect the result. By noting what change is made in the registry, you may with due caution be able to find the change made. Given the registry change, then create e.g. a bat file that does that.
Then a shortcut and hot key to that file.
Repeat for each scaling level you want.
Hope it works out for you. Good luck.
I seem to get nowhere with this actual issue, but I found a app that forces Win8 scaling (which work better for my purposes).

I know this is an old thread, so sorry for the "zombie effect"—but if anyone else looks for info on this, I thought I'd add a small update.
When I got my UHD (3840x2160) display, I thought I had to manually switch Windows 10's scaling level going back and forth between it and my laptop's built-in display.
But it turns out that if you sign out of Windows, then turn on the external display before you connect it to your computer and sign back in, Windows "talks" to the display, gets its resolution, and sets scaling appropriately. At least that's been my experience... Much easier!
