Font sizes changed
This isn't strictly about graphics cards (I think?) but it's a display issue.
I have an HP Spectre x360 15 laptop. Its native resolution is 3840x2160. But I don't need or particularly want that much resolution, especially since I have an external 1920x1080 monitor that I use as my main display when in the office. So I run the internal display at 1920x1080, so I have the same scale on both monitors.
I just had a week of vacation and took the laptop with me. When I got back, I noticed my fonts were kind of messed up. Many (not all) apps are displaying (on both screens) at about 150% of the normal font size. In Windows File Explorer, the fonts are large enough that lines start to overlap. In Chrome I have to resize to about 70% to get the visual result I used to get at 100%, but that only affects window contents, not the tabs &etc.
I checked Display Settings, and everything is correct: the Scale and Layout setting on both displays is 100% and the resolution is 1920x1080, as it should be. I can't change the scale size to 70% because it only supports 100%, 125%, 150%, and 175%.
What would cause this, and how do I fix?
Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1, build 19043.2130.
