  • Windows 10 Display Scaling

    Posted by kaldridgewv2211 on November 30, 2020 at 3:21 pm

    Anyone have issues with Windows 10 and display scaling?  Our PACS app needs it set to 100% in Windows display settings, as to not mess with the DPI.  It’s something that can be changed but it seems like a per user basis.  Windows wants to autoscale the highres monitors to 150% but every user that logs in needs to change that back to 100%.  So it’s kind a of a pain and not sure how it could ever be enforced across an enterprise.

    Lots of stuff out on the Googlenet about this issue. Seems like an OS image issue more than the actual operating system. Several folks have created work around apps for the issue to force the registry change, but fresh install of the OS makes the issue dissappear to default to 100%. Not the answer you wanted to hear im sure.

      Have the same issue in Fuji v5 PACS. It is a per user/per workstation configuration to changed the scaling back to 100% on Hi-Res monitors. WE looked into changing via GPO, but was not possible

        We just worked through applying a reg change that seems to set it for everyone using custom scaling.

            You can find some more info online about this but it appears if you set a couple reg keys it’ll use custom scaling set to 100% which locks it down to 100% also.  The strange thing is the W10 GUI the values look a little weird when you set cutom scaling.  We tested and it worked for us.
             
            hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\LogPixels REG_DWORD=96
             
            hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop\Win8DpiScaling REG_DWORD=1

              We’ve got the issue too.  We’ve got to set the scaling to 100% too.  Per user per workstation is an absolute pain.  We set up a generic log in for the rads and provided them instructions on how to change it themselves if they still wanted to log into Windows as themselves.  The reg keys look handy. Wish I would have been able to see this a few months ago! LOL
