  1. Windows keeps swapping my shortcuts to my second monitor when the display scale is 125%,...


    After a shutdown, windows rearranged all of my tabs for some reason, making them larger and spacing them further apart. I changed my scale from 100% to 125% since I was only running one monitor, but when I connected back to my other monitor, when I set my main display scale to 125%, it moved all of my tabs to my secondary monitor. However, when I set the scale of my secondary monitor to 125% instead of 100% like it was,, the tabs returned to my main monitor. I have already checked that my secondary monitor is not checked as the main monitor in either case.

    Custom Display Scaling for multi monitor setup?

    Just picked up an HP Omen 27i monitor - IPS - 2560x1440 - 165Hz) to use as my main monitor. I'm using my previous monitor (Asus VG248 - TN - 1920x1080 - 144Hz) as my second monitor.

    Is there any way to set the Custom scaling option in Windows for my HP Omen (first monitor) to 120 and keep my Asus VG248 (second monitor) to 100? If I do that the custom scaling spans across both monitors. However if I set the scaling to an option in the drop-down box (125%, 150%,175%, 200%, 225%) it works properly.

    I'd like to set a lesser value than 125 for the HP Omen since that value is too large for my liking.

    When un-docking laptop, Windows scaling changes to 125% but still shows 100% in settings

    I have a 1920x1080 laptop display, and 2 extnernal 1920x1080 displays. When I dock, I do not use my laptop display. Scaling is set to 100% for all monitors when in use.

    When I un-dock, and open my laptop display, scaling changes automatically, and visually appears 125%. I go to my display settings, and it says 100%. But when I change to 125% (which is the "recommended" setting) then back to 100%, my display then looks as it
    should.

    This is quite repeatable.

    • I would prefer scaling does not change when I un-dock
    • Why does does he actual scaling not match what the setting is set to?

    Windows 10 display scaling feature request

    Hi,

    Might be posting in the wrong forum...if so, please let me know the correct section for this.

    I am one of the users suffering the blurry text issue with office 2016 APPs (2016 MSO 16.0.4549.1000 64BIT) under Win10 build 15063.502. Hope the fall CU will be fixing it in a more flexible way.

    Couple of queries for request:

    • Why can not MSFT give option to do scaling value other than 100, 125, 150...? There might be need to use 110% as scaling for per-display scaling?
    • Why can not Windows 10 save scaling settings for when connected and not-connected with external monitor and also switch automatically when detecting external monitor? For example, I want to setup laptop screen with 125% scaling and 100% scaling on
      external monitor. I also prefer 100% scaling on laptop when not connected with external monitor. So when the external monitor is connected, laptop is scaled to 125% automatically; Switch back to 100% scaling when external monitor is disconnected.
    Are these too much to ask? I think MacOS can do these for a long time...
