Windows – Cannot disable DPI scaling for Visual Studio 2012

high-dpivisual studio 2012windows 8

I would like high DPI enabled for most of the applications that I use on my 14" 1920×1080 laptop, except for a few like Visual Studio that benefits from the extra space. However, setting "disable high DPI" in compatibility does nothing. I am using Windows 8.

Best Answer

i asked Chris Jackson, the Microsoft AppCompat guy; there is no way to do this.

We don’t have such an ability, the scaled mode is what we have to handle those situations. Yes, there clearly are some things that are suboptimal about how we do that (I hate the fuzzies too), but it’s hard to get a second fix approved which technically solves the same thing since that means that engineer isn't doing something else to make the world a better place.

i also asked nearly the same thing here.
