Occasionally I will use "splash streamer" which is an app that lets me view my monitor on a tablet, I use it when I'm recording alone and I'm several feet away from my desk. My main 4K monitor is connected by display port, the 2nd one is HDMI with adapter into display port. Is is not 4K but I don't change any settings if I use it. I have a second monitor, which I rarely turn on. If anyone else is running into this, please let us know. If Cakewalk is somehow affecting it (again, I fail to see how, but stranger things have happened), running it without admin permissions might prevent it from doing so. I'm also wondering why you're running Cakewalk with admin permissions all the time, which shouldn't be necessary.

Essentially, it just throws its hands in the air and says " Hey Windows, I know nothing about high DPI, so you take care of it!".ĭo you by any chance have multiple monitors? If so, do they have different resolutions? Do you always run Cakewalk on the same monitor? Do you ever run Cakewalk on another display, whether it's temporarily plugging in a different monitor/TV, or by running it remotely (via Remote Desktop or similar)? Do you change the Windows scaling setting occasionally (nothing wrong with that, but it might be a factor)? Cakewalk literally does nothing at all to change or ignore the Windows scaling setting. So no matter what Cakewalk is randomly ignoring things that are DPI scale related. If it's set to 150%, everything should be at that scale. I don't even need the setting, Cakewalk should just follow what is set in the display settings. I think Cakewalk is sometimes ignoring the DPI scaling override setting on program launch. I don't see any people complaining about this as a Windows issue. FWIW, I tried setting the high DPI scaling override and then deleted the corresponding registry entry with no ill effects. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows grant If you're familiar with the registry, please would you send me a screenshot of the Cakewalk.exe entry in there? You might want to try deleting it to see if that makes any difference (at your own risk, of course). I did some Googling, and app compatibility settings (of which high DPI scaling is one) are stored in the registry here: Maybe one of your plugins is misbehaving? That might explain it. I wonder if Windows is trying to be 'clever' and is changing it because it thinks it knows better?!Ī while back, I came across a plugin that was calling Windows DPI scaling functions, which it definitely shouldn't have been doing under any circumstances (it's the hosts job to worry about things like that). On start-up, CbB just tells Windows to handle scaling on its behalf. I know we aren't doing anything out of the ordinary. I'm struggling to think how CbB could change your high DPI scaling override setting. (Or system advanced) - I change it here and it fixes it but eventually the setting gets unchecked and Cakewalk opens ignoring the DPI scaling. exe (Prog files, cakewalk, cakewalk core etc.) hit properties and under compatibility you can set the "high DPI scaling override" where you can choose to have the program either follow the systems DPI setting or the application's DPI scaling. Windows is always set to 150% but Cakewalk ignores that sometimes. When you say " I'm continually going in and having to set the scaling over and over again", what is it that you're doing specifically? Are you going into Windows Settings to set it to 150% again, or something else? Also, what version of Windows are you using? I haven't heard of anything like this, apart from maybe one guy who had to set some custom DPI settings or CbB would crash on startup (which should now be fixed anyway, at least in the latest Early Access release).
