Before the windows 8.1 Upgrade, I had my display settings set to scale all my displays and make it 117% rather than 100%. I just found 100% was too small for the size of my monitor and created eye strain, so I scaled my display larger. This worked great in all my programs and internet in Windows 8, but once I upgraded to 8.1, it went back to the normal scaling in all my programs, even though my scaling options were set to make it larger.
I found something that corrected this problem.
If you want your screen size scaled LARGER and to work in all your programs as well, follow these steps for each program:
- Right Click on Program
- Choose Properties
- Click Compatibility Tab
- Check the Box that reads "Run this Program in Compatibility Mode for"
- Scroll Down and Choose "Windows 8"
- Click Apply
Wallah...The Program will now function with whatever Display Scaling Options you have set in your Windows 8.1 Settings!
