Windows 10: How to fix display scaling AFTER custom scaling was applied in windows 11

I know, I know...I read the warning. Whereas it said: “You shouldn’t change these settings unless you need to. It can cause text and apps to become unreadable. All your displays with be set the custom scaling size you enter and it can be difficult to go back to your original settings.”However, in my defense, I also read in multiple posts where IF you change to say 115% which is all I did then everything “should be” fine and changing back to the recommended scaling settings and resolutions, again, “should be” fine. Well, it wasn’t.Basically, the characters are what I can only describe as spor

Custom Display Scaling on Multiple Monitors w/ Dock

Hello,

I've encountered the world's most infuriating problem for which I do not believe there is a solution. I recently purchased an HP ZBook 14u w/ it's associated thunderbolt dock. I have two 24" 4K displays connected to the dock. For the monitors, under scale
and layout I've set scaling to 225% (which IS listed under available pre-set scaling options) and they look fantastic. For the laptop screen however, the recommended setting is 300% (too big) with the setting below that being 250% (too small). Setting a custom
scale of 275% is perfect. The problem is, if I set custom scaling on the laptop screen, and then plug it into the dock, it carries over to the two monitors (changing them to 275%) making them too big. It seems there is no way to set custom scaling for an individual
display. It also seems that there is no way to add a certain scale percentage (in this case 275%) to the list of available options within the settings on the laptop screen without setting a custom number.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Are there any drivers, registry tweaks or custom apps that can allow me to set custom scaling for an individual screen and not have it carry over to all the displays when I connect the laptop to the dock?

 

How to make System->Display->Custom Scaling work

In windows 10, I can easily set Custom Scaling for the Display. But in Windows 11, I specified a scale of 105% to 125% but the scale is always 175%.

How to make this work correctly.
