Windows 10 doesn’t deal well with older programs, or when changing displays from High-DPI to Low-DPI (or vice-versa). The Windows 10 “Creators Update”<\/a> will hopefully fix that<\/a>, but in the meantime, this YouTube video<\/a> might help out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a Nutshell:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download this\u00a0“External Scaling<\/a>” zip file (or the files individually linked to by the video)<\/li>\n
  2. Open Zip file and extract the registry patch and manifest file<\/li>\n
  3. Run the registry patch<\/li>\n
  4. Copy the manifest file into the same directory as the program whose scaling isn’t working properly.<\/li>\n
  5. Rename the manifest file to “<program>.exe.manifest” where <program> must match exactly the name of the\u00a0executable.\n
      \n
    1. For example, for Kerbal Space Program<\/a>, copy the manifest file into the KSP game directory and rename it to : “KSP_x64.exe.manifest”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Restart the program.<\/li>\n
    3. Profit!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
