The forms are cut for me using high resolution on WinForm

Question

I got a new laptop with very high resolution. I increased the size text, apps and other to 150%

i work on WinForm program using Visual-Studio 2019.

All the forms in my program are cut and everything goes wrong on the screen.

i try this:

app.manifest

<compatibility xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:compatibility.v1">  
    <application>  
      <!-- Windows 10 compatibility -->  
      <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}" />  
    </application>  
  </compatibility>  

app.config

<System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>  
    <add key="DpiAwareness" value="PerMonitorV2" />  
    <add key="EnableWindowsFormsHighDpiAutoResizing" value="false" />  
  </System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSectio  

n>
i work on .NET Framework 4.7.2

i also try this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/winforms/high-dpi-support-in-windows-forms?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8

and also this on the main of every form: (Each time something different)

this.AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Font;  
this.AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Dpi;  
this.AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.None;  

I have already tried everything .... and nothing helps. any idea ?

thanks

Hi GMS
To enable per-monitor DPI awareness in the app.config file, you just add the following to your application configuration file.

<System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>  
  <add key="DpiAwareness" value="PerMonitorV2" />  
</System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>

Please provide more information or some related code to reproduce the situation.
