disable DPI scaling by default for all apps
I have Windows 10 DPI set to 150% and many apps are blurry. As you know, this is fixed by disabling DPI scaling per app, but I would like to do that for all apps by default. I am already using the "XPE Windows 10 DPI Fix", but this does not fix it for me. I have researched it extensively and can't seem to find a way to do it. I have a right click context menu item for disable DPI scaling on an executable, but it makes me angry every time I have to do it manually.
Here's an example:

On the left is what I get by default. After changing the setting in the center, I get the result on the right. I want the result on the right without having to disable DPI scaling manually.
The kicker is that I have an older computer which behaves exactly as I want: apps run without being blurry at 150% DPI (the same apps that are blurry on my new computer). That computer is running the release version of Windows 10 from 2015. I tweaked it heavily, disabled updates (not once did I need to update!), etc and it has worked great all this time. I got a new laptop and imaged my wonderfully configured Windows to it, only to find the laptop video driver can only be installed on a newer Windows version (something about switching between Intel and Nvidia on the fly). OK, fine, so I install Windows 10 fresh and I have this blasted DPI scaling problem.
I remember I had DPI scaling problems on my old Windows install when I first got it, but apparently I tweaked something to fix it. I can't remember what I did, though I found chat logs of me complaining about it to a friend (sadly I never mention a solution). It is running the "XPE Windows 10 DPI Fix", maybe that was enough? Any idea why that doesn't work for my newer computer? I don't know if things are different with the latest Windows 10 updates or if there is a tweak I haven't done on the new computer.
