Windows – Overriding High DPI Scaling from the Command Line

high-dpiscalingwindows 10

I am compiling and building an OpenCV app on Windows 10, which shows some images.
I want to overrride the high DPI scaling behavior and set it to "Application".

I can do this fine on the .exe file by: Right-Click->Properties->Compatibility Tab and checking the checkbox.:

enter image description here

Is there a command line tool I can use to do that as part of a script?

Best Answer

You make a bat file script.

Things to change in commands

Make sure where the application is Placed

If the application is 64 bit "%programfiles%\<appfoldername>\<app>.exe"

If the application is 32 bit "%programfiles(x86)\<appfoldername>\<app>.exe"

~HIGHDPIAWARE Indicates value of Override high DPI scaling behavior (Application)

~DPIUNAWARE Indicates value of Override high DPI scaling behavior (System)

"~GDIDPISCALING DPIUNAWARE" Indicates value of Override high DPI scaling behavior (System Enhanced) add double quote also

I am doing this for Itunes (64 bit).
