Smartlaunch ZDNet GE Oil & Gas Regional Tech Support Manager Android Police PCMag Hi, Hope you can help! I just got a 4K monitor for my tower PC at home. I often RDP to it from my Phone, laptop and iPad. To be able to read text on my 27" 4k display I have set scaling to 175 procent in Windows 8.1. The problem is when I login via remote the scaling is still 175 procent. This means that text and icons is way too big to handle on a non 4k display. Right now my solution is to login via remote - change the scaling to 100 procent - log out and back in again. Then when I get home a have to set it back to 175 procent..... I use Microsoft Remote Desktop App on Windows, Mac and iOS. I would prefer to keep using that Anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance. Page 2Posted byu/[deleted]7 years ago

How can I view a 1080p RDP session in stretched fullscreen on a 2160p (UHD) display? I am using high-DPI screens with a UHD native resolution. I would like to have a full-screen remote desktop session. In Windows 10, the local resolution and DPI settings are applied remotely, which looks great. But this means all scaling happens on the remote end, and as far as RDP is concerned it's transmitting a 2160p image. Unfortunately, transmitting a 2160p resolution over the network requires a high bandwidth, which means the entire experience is rather laggy. For example, manually forcing 1080p is much smoother. But forcing 1080p does not stretch locally and if I try to switch to 1080p fullscreen I end up with a centered viewport and a large black border: Is there any way I can get it to stretch locally so that only 1080p is transmitted over the network but it looks like 200% DPI locally? While I would prefer to use the native Windows RDP client, a third-party client is also acceptable if it solves this issue. Support for Remote Desktop Gateway is desired, but can be worked around if necessary.
Windows 10 Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 4 Surface Pro 3 Surface Book More...Less When you use a high-DPI device such as a Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, or Surface Book together with external monitors, you experience the following issues:
Although these symptoms may be seen on a single monitor, they're more common when you use multiple monitors that vary in display resolution. These symptoms also occur when the hardware configuration changes, such as when you dock and undock a device that uses external monitors, or you detach an external monitor from the device. These issues commonly occur in the following scenarios:
Display information is determined when a user logs on to the system. A logoff-logon process resets the display information and improves behavior. However, the issue recurs if the monitor configuration changes during the same logon session, such as when you dock or undock the device or detach an external monitor. This issue has become more prevalent since the introduction of 4k and higher resolution monitors, especially when these monitors are mixed together with older, standard monitors.

To work around scaling issues, try the following methods:
Display scaling is a deceptively complex problem. There is no magic bullet or single fix to resolve all DPI Scaling problems. DPI Scaling benefits from continuous improvements in the core operating system, in application development models, and in applications from both Microsoft and third parties. Different versions of Windows and application development models have different display scaling capabilities and limitations. For example, in Windows that were released earlier than Windows 8.1, desktop environment and applications understand only one scale factor, generally based on the primary display at the time that the logon session starts. When the display changes in the middle of a logon session, the system bitmaps scale content from the system scale factor to the new monitor scale factor. This makes sure that content doesn’t become excessively large or small. However, text may appear blurred. (The effect is worse when you scale up.) If the system shrinks or stretches UI elements to the correct size, this may cause some blurriness in dialog boxes and other UI elements. In Windows 10, investments were made so that large parts of the desktop UX will scale crisply in docking-undocking scenarios. Additional scalability improvements were made to the taskbar, File Explorer, desktop icons, context menu, and other UI elements to improve the user experience. Microsoft is continuously updating the system and first-party applications. Third-party applications may require similar investments.
