Windows 10 - Scaling Issue

Post by mflatt23 »

Hey everyone -

Couple of questions/concerns. Just downloaded XNView for Windows 10 on a new Lenovo UltraHd laptop and the scaling appears to be off. As you can see from the screenshot attached, I can barely make out the toolbar as it's so tiny and hard to read. I've had issues with other 3rd party software and received a fix for it, so I was hoping XNView could do the same.

Also, under settings --> default app I can't set XNView as my default photo viewer as it's not even listed as an option. Any ideas how to fix this too?

Thanks so much!

I've seen similar problems.
I have a win 10 PC attached to a 4k TV for slideshows.
When I upgraded to version 1511, win 10 defaulted to 200% scaling, however I later discovered that this destroys the ability of many programs to show anything in 4k.
Both xnview and picasa think the screen is only 1920 pixels wide.

I got around it by setting main scaling to 100% and then fine-tuning specific things like font size.

Just another of the many half-baked ideas in Windows 10.
