Gmit Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hello there, I got the issue that the windows explorer doesn´t scale correctly on my second monitor. compared to the main monitor: I got a Windows 10 PC a uhd display set to 150% scaling a 1440p display set to 100% scaling the 1440p display is set to be the main display. The rest of the UI scales without any issue, between the screens, but as soon a "Save as" window or anything involving going into the file system and the scaling is too small. If i set the uhd screen to be the main display, the scaling gets too big on the other display. If i set the scaling on the 1440p to be 150% the scaling works on the uhd display. Other software is able to scale the explorer correctly on both displays, so i could see that the issue is within the Affinity Apps. And it is the same in Photo, Designer and Publisher. Did i miss something or is it just so unusual to have same sized screens with different resolutions =>different scalings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is some good advice for monitor scaling here, which may help. I'll be back in the office on Monday where i can look into this further, as one of the other Tech guys is sure he has into this on his setup but in his case, it also effect Explorer outside of Affinity.

Gmit Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah your link helped me, i played around with the compatibility settings: and it works on both displays That setting i am only used from old videogames, where the UI gets also very tiny on higher resolution displays. And i just noticed that this setting sadly introduces a blurry interface. Edited November 5, 2021 by Gmit side effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
