hello, how can i fix the ui scaling issues on some windows like these:
i tried changing the default font but the scaling became off on some windows like this one, but not application windows
MIcrosoft have never previously updated those system dialogs to support the UI DPI Scaling in Windows 11, they are not currently working on updating those Windows system dialogs.
Open the Settings App, then go to System - Display.
If your Scale percentage is set greater than 100%, that is causing the problem, if you reduce the percentage, then restart your PC is that dialog then rendering correctly.
the scale is already on 100%, i have already tried restarting and trying other scales.
If the scale factor is already set to 100%, try lowering the resolution on your screen to test if that resolves the problem.
Also, if you have changed the system font you need to reset that to Segoe, changing the system font in Windows11 can lead to unpredictable results.
how do i go about resetting the default font? is it done through registry?
Yes, usually you need to edit the registry to reset the system font, what method did you use to change the system font.
with the registry, with this text:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Segoe UI"="Font Name"
This is the text you need to put into that registry file then merge it to your registry to undo the change, then restart your PC.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"="segoeui.ttf"
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"="segoeuib.ttf"
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"="segoeuiz.ttf"
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"="segoeuii.ttf"
"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"="segoeuil.ttf"
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"="segoeuisb.ttf"
"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"="seguisym.ttf"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"MS Shell Dlg"="Segoe UI"
"MS Shell Dlg 2"="Segoe UI"
alright, this worked for me, many thanks.
Glad to help!
