The default display scaling feature is the most important part of the Windows operating system and is fully implemented in Windows 10 or later. But sometimes, this feature of certain apps can cause compatibility issues, unreadable text, blurry logos, and ultimately, app crashes. Processing content above 2160p resolution will cause a lot of trouble. There are many ways to disable the default display scaling feature on high DPI settings. We've selected the best ones and detailed step-by-step instructions for each process.
There is a way, all you have to do is disable high DPI scaling for a single application, and there is a way to do it across Windows Disable it.
You must disable high DPI scaling only for conflicting applications.
NOTE – For example, we used Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. We will disable high DPI settings for this app only.
1. Press the Windows key and enter " Adobe Photoshop " (in your case, just enter the name of the application).
2. Then, right-click on the application and click "Open file location".
This should lead you to the location of the executable file.
[If it does direct you to the shortcut file, right-click the shortcut file again and click "Open file location." ]
#3. Once you find the main executable file, right-click on it and click "Properties".
4. Then, go to the "Compatibility" section.
5. Here, click on "Change high DPI settings".
#6. Next, go to the High DPI Scale Override settings.
7. Then, just check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scale execution: " box.
8. Set the drop-down menu to "Application".
[
The DPI scaling executor has three options.
Application - The application will prioritize scaling the display itself.
System – This is the default Windows behavior.
System (Enhancement) - Use this feature to allow Windows to enhance menus and text.
]
9. Finally, click “OK”.
10. Return to the original properties window and click "Apply" and "Confirm".
When finished, open the app again and check the zoom behavior again.
There is no clear way to stop the high DPI scaling feature other than disabling the scaling feature. You can adjust the registry and create separate manifest files for problematic applications.
1. Enter "regedit" in the search bar.
2. Then, click on “Registry Editor” to access it.
NOTE -
You should always make a registry backup before making any changes to the registry. Just follow these steps -
. After opening the Registry Editor, click "File" and "Export".
Bay. Then, name this backup and save it in a safe place.
You can use this backup to restore the registry if any problems occur.
3. When the Registry Editor opens, navigate in this way -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
4. Now, in the right pane, right-click on the space and click on " New>" and "DWORD (32-bit) Value" to create a new value.
5. Then name this new value " PreferExternalManifest ".
6. Finally, double-click the value to set it.
7. 现在，将值设置为“ 1 ”。
8. 然后，单击“确定”保存更改。
关闭注册表编辑器。
9. 打开记事本。
10. 在空白的记事本页面中，复制粘贴以下行。
false
11. 现在，点击“文件”和“另存为... ”。
12. 在“文件名：”框中，写入可执行文件名，并在记事本文件名的末尾附加“ .mainfest ”。
[
示例 – 假设您在使用 photoshop.exe 时遇到了这个问题。所以，这个记事本文件的名字应该是——“ photoshop.exe.manifest ”。
]
13. 将“文件类型：”设置为“所有文件”。
14. 然后，导航到桌面。
15. 最后，点击“保存”保存文件。
之后，关闭记事本屏幕。
16. 最后，将这个新的清单文件移动到您遇到此问题的应用程序的根目录中。
[
示例– 在我们的例子中，我们必须将“ photoshop.exe.manifest ”文件移动到 photoshop.exe 的根文件夹，即 –
C:\程序文件\Adobe
]
之后，关闭文件资源管理器。
现在，尝试打开应用程序并检查文本是否看起来很模糊。
如果您不喜欢为每个显示模糊文本的应用程序生成清单文件，您可以使用 DPI Awareness Enabler。
1. 下载DPI Awareness Enabler。
2. 下载完成后，解压“ DPI Awareness Enabler ”文件。
3. 解压后，右键单击“ DpiAwarenessEnabler ”应用程序，然后点击“以管理员身份运行”以运行该应用程序。
4.让应用检测所有应用的列表。
5. 然后，从上方的框中选择应用程序。然后，将应用程序从上框向下拖动到下框。
这将关闭下框中所有应用程序的高 DPI 设备功能。
就是这样！因此，通过这种方式，您只需在 DpiAwarenessEnabler 应用程序中拖放 exe 文件即可轻松禁用高 DPI 功能。
还有另一种方法可以禁用整个系统的高 DPI 设置。
1.首先，同时按下 Windows键+I 键。
2. 然后，点击“系统”设置。
3. 之后，在右侧窗格中，单击“显示”设置。
显示设置将可见。
4. 在右侧，点击“缩放”选项。*
5. 现在，您可以从下拉列表中切换计数。
在您的系统上启动应用程序并检查。
您的屏幕将关闭一次并再次出现。现在，最小化设置，然后启动有问题的应用程序。
如果这解决了问题，您无需执行任何进一步的步骤。
*注意——
如果您看到下拉列表显示为灰色并且您无法修改缩放比例，请按照以下步骤操作。
1. 点击“缩放”设置中的箭头按钮。
2. Here you will find the Custom Zoom box.
You can write anything between 100-500. [Example - Let's say you want 125% scaling, just type " 125 " in the box. ]
3. When finished, click on the Scale line to apply custom scaling.
You must log out of your account to perform custom scaling.
4. Just click "Exit now" to exit the machine.
You will be automatically logged out of your current account. You just need to log back into the system and test the application.
