sysinternals Remote Desktop Connection Manager - Scale Factor

Question

Hi,

Sysinternals Remote Desktop Connection Manager (2.92) is blurry (and slow).

I'm on a 27" screen (2560*1440). Scale Factor to 125%.

I had to to go in the "compatibility" settings for High DPI and make it "by application" to get it sharp, but then it's small (no scale factor), no matter what.

Am I missing something ?

Hello there,

Open Remote Desktop Connection Manager

Right Click "Root" > Properties > Remote Desktop Settings

Uncheck "Inherit from parent"

Change Color Depth to 32

Remote Desktop Size: Change to "Same as client area"

OK

Back to RDCMan Main Window > Save All Settings

Hi,

I did try that. No improvement.

The thing is that the program itself (menu, Computer lists) is also blurry unless I change its "compatibility setting. Apparently it is using old display APIs not compatible with dynamic scale factor.
