Installation of VS 2022 and cannot view designer files properly. Behavior is also impacting VS forms i.e. tools/options left menu pane is selectable looks normal but right pane is out of scale and all options not selectable/unable to change. We run dpi unaware, installed VS 2022 Preview and runs fine. User's image

devenv /ResetSetting had no effect.

    Hi @Justin Tunbridge, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Are you using the latest VS2022 version 17.8.6? 

    It may be due to scaling limitations of the Windows Forms Designer on HDPI monitors. 

    When you work in the designer, you can use the DevEnv.exe tool to restart the Visual Studio as DPI-unaware:

    Select Tools > Command Line > Developer Command Prompt > enter devenv /noScale. 

    If you are not working in the designer, you can close and reopen the Visual Studio to return to DPI-aware again. 

    For more information, please refer to: Fix HDPI/scaling issues with Windows Forms Designer in Visual Studio. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
