How to set a custom DPI scaling size in Windows 11
Windows 11's scaling feature lets you change the size of text, apps, and other visual elements on the screen. In this guide, I'll walk you through the steps to configure this feature so that the elements don't look too small or too large.
Usually, you don't need to worry about the dots per inch (DPI) scaling settings on regular displays, as they provide a more natural size. However, this could be a problem on laptops or monitors with high-resolution panels (like 4K panels or higher), as these make elements and text too small to read. Even though Windows 11 can automatically configure an optimal scaling setting for you, sometimes the system can choose an option that makes elements on the screen appear too large.
Therefore, you can change the display scaling settings at any time in at least three ways. For example, you can use one of the predefined options, set a custom scaling size for elements on the screen, or change the DPI scaling settings using the registry.
