    Were you able to go back to your original scaling and have your icons go back to their original locations?

    Not easily, recently I could not revert from custom scaling to the standard scale options in settings. 😝🤬

    Had to restore a backup to get things back to normal. 🤣🤣

    Not sure why it shows 350% instead of 150% in this case. 🤷‍♂️

    Yes, I have changed the scaling settings and that didn't help. I understand it is a bug in Win11 and Microsoft are going to issue an update to fix it. Don't know why you don't know that.

    Looks like you are not reading all the posts.

    We all know that, but Microsoft is taking forever to fix this stupid bug.

    There is no official fix yet, just a feature that added the bug. 😂😂🤬🤷‍♂️

    They had this problem for months. 😝🤬

    MS already tried releasing a fix that did not work for all display Scale settings. 🤣🤣🤣

    Works fine here disabling that bad fix meant for a completely separate problem, which was enabled by default on all 24H2 builds.

    I'm enjoying being able to use that function properly and have the menu come down South. If changing the scaling. we'll fix it for this time being until they come up with a fix. I'm happy with that.

    I haven't come across a computer that change the scaling hasn't fixed it.

    @tom tom 09,

    If you know how to disable the feature id:51960011 showed in my previous post, it will work fine with any scale.

    That is the feature id that added the bug when MS enabled it by default on all 24H2 Builds and also in Canary. 😎😝🤬🤷‍♂️
