Create a windows shortcut to change the screen scaling

Hi

How can I create a Windows shortcut to change the display scaling on display number 2 to 150%?
I want to be able to click the shortcut to change the screen scaling.

The solution can be in the form of a .bat file or in a windows shortcut (.lnk)

Thank You

Window 11

Thank you

You can access Scaling by Right clicking the Desktop and choosing Display Settings then going to Scale. If that is too many clicks (2?) then I am sure someone could write you a batch file.

spunk,

Did you mean to include a link to this page rather than another one?

Somebody suggested AutoHotKey for the job

I think this thread contains the basis for a scripted solution
Change display scaling via hotkey - Super User
It also contains a link to Is it possible to change display scaling via command line - SendKeys soln - Super User but SendKeys solutions can often be unreliable.

You say you have Windows 11. I know that the following works for Windows 10:


(Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...h-settings-app )

So I found a way you can create a Shortcut (.lnk file) to access either of the following two:


ms-settings:easeofaccess-display




ms-settings:display-advanced


(I think you may be referring to the second picture. The thing though, on my end, I only have one monitor. I'm not sure that if you place the shortcut on the second monitor, it would access the settings for that monitor only. Because on my computer, in the second picture, it says the Custom Scaling will apply to all displays.)


To make the shortcuts for either, you right-click the Desktop -> New -> Shortcut, and paste in the "ms-settings" command for either.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Tutorials are also listed at Tutorials - there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
