Screen Resolution on programs

Hello,

I have a microsoft surface book 2 with a screen resolution of 3240x2160, but when I need to use certain programs that not are prepared to launch at that resolution (almost all of them) things get pretty small and it is really annoying to work.

Is there an option to correct that or at least launch the programs with another resolution?

    Hi,

      The surface pro devices use High DPI scaling and it can make apps look like you have advised.  Sometimes changing the Scaling settings can help this in the Display settings (Right-click on the desktop and left-click display settings)

    Normally it says when you change it, you have to log off first then log back on for it to take effect. Please can you try say setting to 125% then apply, log off then log on?
