Howzit gents.
I've got a bit of a weird one on my hands, so figured I'd pose it to the collective Carbonite hive mind in hope of a solution / workaround.
I've got a client that bought a Spectre X360 13, with 4K display from me recently.. He runs it on external 1080p 23" screens at home and the office for 90% of its usage.
Now, the Windows 10 scaling issue, is raising its head - when switching between the laptop display, and an external display + closing the notebook for desktop use, unoptimized 3rd party apps flake out with big windows and text...
Now, we all know that the solution is, logging out of Windows and logging back in - then everything is force-scaled correctly to the output resolution....
However..... my client, being his somewhat eccentric and fussy self, does not see this as a solution, as he insists on leaving open browsers with 20+ tabs, several Excel sheets and his 3rd party applications at all times, and simply putting the machine to sleep, then waking it up and resuming working..... Neither is he willing to consider the expense of 4K displays at home and the office.
My question.... is there an application or some kind of script that can force a resolution + scaling refresh, without necessitating logging out of Windows?
Thanks in advance!
