Hi guys,

I've just noted a certain bug in Windows 10 if you upscale your windows 10 to 175%. IF you do that, you can't open any folders or enter the desktop version of the control panel and so on. But going back to 150% will fix it.
Using a 4K display I had to use the DPI Scaling feature, otherwise everything else is too small to read.

Can someone with windows 10 reconfirm this bug by testing the DPI scale of 175% ?

Edit: Ah.. nevermind I guess:

"?We fixed an issue where File Explorer would crash frequently when DPI settings were at 175%."

Was to fast to post it here.. but hey.. just for the info if you got the same issue as I do. Took me 2 hours to figure that one out -.-

windows DPI scaling is why buying 4k under 40 inches is a questionable move for windows systems

Maybe... that feature worked flawless on Win 7. But Microsoft is just incapable to move working features into newer versions of their Windows products..

Btw...

That's just toooo big for me. I prefer the 27 inch I have. It has the optimal size.

No, it does not work in windoes 7....

4k 40inch has same dpi as 1440p at 27inches. I understand 40 inches is large, but going smaller then that requires the use of windows scaling, which just does not work in any MS OS, and thats not really MS fault. Its the same reason why 95 and vista were "bad" Taking out bad programming practices ("features") that software dev used causing things to break.
Programs meant for non-multitask environments often did not have safe guards in check for memory management, cause whats the point, up till you have a multitask environment like 95, where it all goes south.

Its not that MS is incapable, its that backwards compatibility, especially with things that should not exist, is not just a programming logistics nightmare, its bloated, and can be a security hazard.

How can you say that scaling didn't work in win7? I've used an 1440p monitor for nearly 2 years and I used scaling all the time. It worked great on every application I used. But since using Win 10 it is pretty much broken for me.
