4K Scaling, messed up UI and pages

Yes.
If you're resolution is at the recommended scaling, it will be disabled, mine gets disabled too at 720 and unlocked if it was bigger than that.
Thank you, that was great, I'll check it out and play with macro for now.
Wished if there was more ideal way or program to resize the UI.
I'll report back with results when I get it to work.
Thank again!!

Wow! Thank you! That's actually an awesome tip I can make use of later
Luckily, the display setting is one right click away.
What I meant is a press on macro button for instant change to 100 scale without prompt or opening windows.
Probably can google those commands to get it work but I'll wait for more legit ideas, the scaling is bit wacky with some programs.

• SetDPI.exe 100
• SetDPI.exe 200

windows 10 - Is it possible to change display scaling via command line? - Super User
Scroll a little down to the answer with the "Batch Script". Read the paragraph above it.

Better to just scroll all the way down to the bottom of that thread IMO. lol

I tried that and it missed my desktop beyond repair.
After searching I thought I'd give it another try and seems to be working fine now!

So here what I did:
Made a folder, put Setdpi.exe in it and created 2 text files as follow:
SetDpi.exe
Sset.txt
100.txt

Rename Sset.txt to Sset.bat, right click edit, inserted the following command:

Code:

if exist 100.txt goto :Set200
SetDpi.exe 100
Ren 200.txt 100.txt
exit
:Set200
SetDpi.exe 200
Ren 100.txt 200.txt

Linked macro button on keyboard to run the Sset.bat file.

This will check if my dpi is 100 will switch to 200 and vice versa.
All in one button, I'm not CMD expert but it works.
And it will work as long as those three files are in one place.

Hope this help anyone having the same problem till we can find a proper solution.
Or hopefully MS will hire someone who actually knows how to code and fix it in their next 10 years update.


Thank you everyone, I'll keep this topic unsolved and open to more idea regarding this issue.
I'll be checking around :)

Assuming that the file SetDPI.exe is in a folder C:\tools

Code:

for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('C:\tools\SetDPI.exe value') do if %%f==100 (C:\tools\SetDPI.exe 200)else (if %%f==200 C:\tools\SetDPI.exe 100)

Well, that looks better than my amateur code.
I copied your code and corrected the path, nothing happens when I run it.
Am I suppose to modify anything else?

Does your folderpath contain any spaces? If so, enclose the whole filepath in doublequotes e.g. "C:\My Tools\SetDpi.exe"

Or, alternatively:

Code:

cd /d C:\My Tools
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('SetDpi.exe value') do if %%f==100 (SetDpi.exe 200)else (if %%f==200 SetDpi.exe 100)

Did that, still not working.
Getting "%%f unexpected at this time"

In Powershell I'm getting this error:
Missing opening '(' after keyword 'for'.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingOpenParenthesisAfterKeyword

Copied your exact code and folder is in C:\tools\
I know it's me who's doing something wrong ?
