Inconsistent DPI Scaling When Resuming From Sleep

Sep 29, 2015

I'm running an XPS 15 with a 4k LCD. Windows 10 recommends 200% DPI scaling on my display, but that is just a little to high for me. I'm much more comfortable at 150% or 175%. 200% is just too large and I lose the advantage of a high resolution display.
What I find is that when I'm using the "Recommended" scaling option of 200%, everything works normally, but when I scale to something smaller like 150% I get some strange things happening. It only seems to happen when resuming from sleep.

When I resume from sleep, some apps (and it seems to be Microsoft apps in particular) get messed up. It starts with the lock screen. I resume from sleep and my lock screen image is the same size it would be if it were scaled at the "recommended" 200% level, but it is overlaid on top of my actual password screen which is displayed at the configured 150%. That means that there is space outside the lock screen image that is visible from behind it. It looks really weird.

Secondly, Outlook, Word, OneNote, etc do the same. The window THINKS it is still full screen, but it is only using 75% of the screen. If I un-dock it from full screen and dock it back, it fills the screen properly, but it wont do it on its own. It is almost as if it wants to be scaled at 200% and that is what it defaults to after resuming from sleep. I have to remind the application that it should be viewed at the configured 150%.

Store Apps Closing When Resuming From Sleep

Sep 4, 2015

Windows Store apps close sometimes when resuming from sleep? It doesn't happen all of the time, but on my Lenovo Yoga 2 pro, its often enough to notice. Its probably supposed to be similar to how Windows 8 would tombstone apps, but this seems a little more aggressive since its not suspending them . Its most annoying when Edge shuts down because its closing all of the tabs too and doesn't resume them when its reopened.

BSOD :: Memory Management When Resuming From Sleep Mode

Nov 14, 2015

Ever since I upgraded to W10 Pro (from W8.1 Pro) my PC has started bluescreening when resuming from Sleep. MEMORY_MANAGEMENT is the most common one, and the only one that has occured so far after upgrade to Build 10586 (upgraded 2015-11-13).

BSODs KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (NTFS.sys), SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE occured before upgrade to Build 10586, and might happen again. Minidumps for these disappeared during upgrade to latest W10 build

BIOS is the latest one. Ran Memtest86+ yesterday, 8 passes with all 11 tests, no errors found. Windows Memory Diagnostics didn't find anything either.

Inconsistent Shell Context Menu

Sep 26, 2015

I noticed something peculiar this morning. The Explorer right-click context menu is inconsistent on what it displays.

For example, when I right-clicked on one folder, it displays the "Add to Windows Media Player List" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options.

However, when I right-clicked on another folder, these options are absent.

Whether these options appear in the context menu seems to be entirely arbitrary. About half of the folders have the options, and the rest do not.

BSOD :: Regular / Inconsistent Crashes With Occasional Freezes

Nov 8, 2015

My PC regularly crashes. Usually with no notice it just freezes and never recovers, but occasionally it results in a Dpc_Watchdog_violation BSOD which in some cases it even manages to successfully reboot from.

The only pattern I can note is that the more stress the system is under, the more likely it is to crash. The fan speed usually correlates with the likelihood of a crash, but there have also been numerous occasions where it crashes with no warning or pattern.

It used to happen a lot back when I had Windows 7 on this machine, but after a fresh install of 8.1 it became a very rare thing to happen. However, since I upgraded to Windows 10 a few weeks ago, it happens multiple times a day.

Other than an SSD for the O/S and replacement HDDs, the machine is as it was when bought, an Acer Aspire M3300.

Because of that brief period where it worked fine with Windows 8.1, I suspect it's driver related, but I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert. The graphics drivers for the graphics card aren't supported on Windows 10 (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4350), but other searches suggest it works fine regardless.

Disable DPI Scaling For All Programs

Aug 1, 2015

I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and I am disappointed to see that some of my programs are now blurry. I had encountered this problem before when I installed Windows 8.1, but somehow I was able to fix it.

I can remove the blurriness from individual programs by manually disabling dpi scaling on each program, but I would like to do this system wide.

When I try to edit the display settings through the control panel, the changes I make result in everything on the screen being too small for me to read. I can't seem to get everything right how it was when I was running Windows 8.1.

Scaling Level Is 200% By Default

Nov 22, 2015

I am running Windows 10 Pro in a Toshiba Satellite L850-1FR (15.6"), and every time I start my computer I need to change the scaling level as it seems to be 200% by default, but for me 100% is the right level. Any way to change this default option so I don´t have to change it every time I start Windows? I have attached a print screen.

App Scaling - Can't Be Accessed Or Even Scrolled

Apr 2, 2015

I'm having a bit of trouble with modern apps in the latest preview. There seems to be an issue with the scaling on them so that the border of the app is always a little too small to fit the content, regardless of how I resize the window.

So items on the far right of bottom of a window (including app commands) can't be accessed or even scrolled to.

I wanted to run some games on 1024x768 but i had black bars i fixed that problem by selecting 1024x768 resolution and scaling to full screen. But i want to know if there is a way to change the resolution to 1024x768 when the game opens instead of doing it manually and when the game closes the resolution goes back to normal which is 1366x768.

Notification Area Is Broken Under 110% Scaling?

Oct 25, 2015

To better suit my monitor, I want to run my Windows 10 in 110% scaling mode, just like I did with Windows 7. When I adjust scaling to 110% everything does indeed look right (i.e. very similar to Windows 7).

However, there's an obvious issue with notification area icons: if there are more than one icon present in the notification area, one of the icons always "disappears". More precisely, the rightmost icon becomes invisible: Windows apparently simply thinks that it does not fit into the constraints of the notification area and decides not to draw it.

Here's some pictures of what happens in 110% scaling mode. This is the original configuration, when all icons are residing in the the pop-up "drawer" and only the Volume Control icon is present in the notification area. Everything looks fine

Now let's say I drag Skype icon from the popup drawer down into the notification area and drop it to the left of the Volume Control icon

As can be seen in the above picture, the Volume Control icon suddenly disappears. Technically it is there, but Windows fails to display it since it assumes (apparently) that the icon "does not fit" into the allotted space.

Now, If I return Skype back into the drawer everything will get back to normal - the Volume Control icon will reappear. If after that I, again, drag Skype icon from the popup drawer into the notification area, but this time drop it to the right of the Volume Control icon, the Skype icon will disappear.

So, the question I have is: is there any workaround for this problem? Is it somehow possible to manually increase the size (the width) of the notification area to make it display all icons?

Graphic Cards :: DPI Scaling With Multiple Monitors

Jan 4, 2016

I have a Lenovo T450s as my primary machine issued to me at work. It has an Intel Integrated Graphics Card and a 1920 X 1080 screen. I have two additional monitors, a 28 inch 4K Samsung, and a 24 inch 1080p Samsung. I have the following DPI settings.

Laptop Monitor - 100%
4K Monitor - 150% (anything lower and it is completely unusable, everything is super tiny)
24 inch 1080 - 100%

If I set my Laptop screen as my primary screen the laptop screen and the 24 inch 1080 monitor look share, but most apps look fuzzy, sometimes somewhat noticeable, other times it is very noticeable when moved to the 4K monitor with DPI scaling set at 150%.

The opposite happens if I set the 4k monitor as the primary monitor and restart. Then the 4K monitor looks very sharp and clear. However then the laptop screen and 24 inch 1080 monitor look fuzzy and blurry.

Visual Studio 2013, SSMS 2014, Chrome are the application that are bothering me the most right now. There are a small number of apps like Edge that seem to work fine regardless of whatever the DPI settings are.

I was excited to see Windows 10 added per monitor DPI scaling and claimed to fix the issues with DPI scaling on Windows 8 when having multiple monitors of different pixel densities. However from what I've seen they really haven't fixed much.

Microsoft Edge Scaling - How To Get Them To Stay The Size Set

Sep 1, 2015

Since I installed my new video card (Asus Radeon R7 240), all pages appear scaled up to 115%. There are some settings to change somewhere, because I didn't found them. Actually on firs boot, pages were even bigger, but now are stuck at 115%.

Even when I scale them down manually and after that I click on scroll wheel to open in a new tab, the page is scaling up, back to 115%

Chrome Blurry On Second Monitor After Display Scaling On Main Monitor

Aug 10, 2015

So recently I upgraded to windows 10 at the same time I got a 4k display.When I set the display scaling to 150% on my main 4k monitor and ensuring that the scaling stays at 100% on my other two 1080p monitors, the entire chrome application is blurry when viewing on the 1080 monitors, and I cannot seem to fix this. Other applications seem to be okay.

Furthermore after the scaling change, some icons on my 1080 monitor's desktop get larger, as if some scaling is applied to them. Is there any solution to this? At the moment I have had to set the scaling back to 100% on my main monitor in order to use chrome on the smaller monitors.

Cannot Go To Sleep (S3) Or Even Sleep The Monitor

Aug 4, 2015

I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 on the 29th. At that time my system would go to standby sleep without and issue. Since the big day, I can only get it to sleep by using the sleep option on the shut down or sign out drop down.

I have reinstalled my graphics card drivers. I have also reinstalled my network adapter and deselected the option in power management to "allow this device to wake the computer".

Won't Come Out Of Sleep Mode

Dec 2, 2015

I have a HP Envy that is only 11 months old. I installed Windows 10 not too long ago and now I am experiencing issues with the sleep mode function. I have tried many other suggestions in power troubleshooter and other "fixes", but nothing is working.

Here's the issue. When my laptop enters sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. The keyboard is unresponsive with the exception of the backlight key. No matter what I do, I cannot wake it and this includes Ctrl + Alt + Delete. The power button remains lit, but the screen remains black and will not wakeup. The only way to fix this is to hard reboot the laptop by holding the power button down until it shuts off and then reboot it.

Won't Wake Up From Sleep

Jul 31, 2015

I downloaded windows 10 yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine. However, every time I shut my computer, it's supposed to go into sleep mode from which a shake of the mouse will wake it. It is indeed going to sleep, but I can't wake it through any interaction with the mouse or keyboard. The power light is still on, indicating that the computer is sleeping, but I can't get it to wake up. I have had to hold the power button to turn it off and then on and I'm pretty sure that's terrible for my computer to not shut down properly.
