Change DPI settings via registry to 100% Windows 10 1709

Question

Hi,

We started with deploying Windows 10 build 1709 images.

Here we noticed that they are default on 125% DPI.

We want to change that atomized via a registry key.

We found out the following key to set DPI on 100% but it is not working for us:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000096
"Win8DpiScaling"=dword:00000000

Logout Windows -> Login again -> DPI still 125% instead of 100%.

Anyone any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

We tried the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000096
"Win8DpiScaling"=dword:00000000

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\PerMonitorSettings]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"AppliedDPI"=dword:00000096

It works when you do a logout and a login , but it gets reset on reboot.

Any solution?

Hi,

It seems that you deployed a registry item via group policy preference of GPO, but it didn't work?

please run gpresult /r command to check if the GPO is applied successfully to clients. If the GPO is not applied, you could follow the article as below to firstly troubleshoot the reasons:

Hi Toa,

We are not working with GPO.

We just deploy simple registry edit.
