Microsoft Introduces DPI Scaling Changes for Windows 10 Creators Update

Microsoft is continuing to detail some of the under-the-hood changes being made with the Windows 10 Creators Update. Today, the company is discussing the high-DPI scaling improvements that have been made. The changes and additions will be implemented fully when the company rolls out the Creators Update on April 11.
In a blog post, Microsoft says the new high-DPI scaling improvements in Windows 10 will make multiple monitor setup for different resolutions easier.

For users who run a desktop application that does not render on high-DPI displays, there is now a solution. Windows 10 Creators Update will run the application as a DPI-unaware process. Essentially, this means users can choose the new functionality in several options, as detailed below:

  • Application: This setting defaults the app to a per-monitor DPI awareness. Users may recognize this ability as it was previously known as “Disable display scaling on high-DPI settings.”
  • System: Windows’ standard procedure, this will bitmap stretch the UI during DPI changes.
  • System (Enhanced): GDI Scaling
From those options, System (Enhanced) is a new addition coming with the Creators Update. It allows texts and primitives to render more accurately on high-DPI displays. However, this is only relevant for GDI-based apps. Windows 10 can DPI scale these apps on a per monitor basis.

One of the main issues of DPI scaling on Windows 10 has been the inability to see desktop apps in scale when in extended display mode across multiple displays. Microsoft says Creators Update solves this issue.
