I've been experiencing a frustrating problem with my Dell G16 7630 laptop that I'm hoping someone here might have insights on. I have an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU paired with Intel UHD Graphics, and my built-in display resolution is set to 2560x1600 at 240Hz with G-SYNC enabled. I also use a 1080p Lenovo monitor, but this issue occurs even when that monitor is disconnected. I've set my Windows 11 scaling to 150%, but multiple applications still display their interfaces as if they are running at 100%, making everything appear too small on my laptop screen. Notably, the desktop, taskbar, and icons are scaling properly. It's mostly certain apps like Roblox Studio and Voicemod that are problematic. This issue started suddenly around December 2025 or January 2026, despite there being no hardware changes. I've tried a number of fixes, such as reinstalling drivers and modifying DPI settings, but nothing has worked. Has anyone had a similar experience or know if this is a known issue with Windows 11?

It sounds like your issue might stem from the DPI awareness of the apps. Not all apps are designed to handle high DPI scaling properly. You can check the settings in each app for any DPI-related configurations, but generally, if an app wasn't built to be DPI-aware, there's not much you can do to force it to scale correctly.
Make sure to look at compatibility mode settings in Windows for those specific apps. Right-click on an app's shortcut, select Properties, and navigate to the Compatibility tab. Here, you can try overriding high DPI settings which might help with the scaling issues you're facing.
Have you tried rechecking your display settings and resolutions? Sometimes settings can revert, and it may appear your laptop is running at a lower resolution than intended. Although you say that scaling was fine before, it's still good to verify all settings are correct. If your laptop’s screen is meant to be at 2560x1600, confirm that nothing inadvertently changed.
