Once again, what your screenshot shows is the legacy/obsolescent scaling functionality inherited from Windows XP. Microsoft stated repeatedly that you should not use this scaling functionality, since it is deprecated and will be removed in the future versions of Windows (correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that it has been removed in Windows 11).

Not really sure where the OP said any of that either you are just making assumptions in your own head at this point.

Redundant.

SMHID ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... Oh, well...
