Windows Server 2022 DPI Scaling Issues via RDP & Horizon
Windows Server 2022 users have recently encountered a perplexing issue: display scaling anomalies occur whether you’re connecting via RDP or through VMware Horizon (now Omnissa). The anomaly—where visual elements appear either oversized or...
In recent years, High-DPI displays have become common. Having a lot more pixels to display your application on seems like a simple recipe for crisper graphics but, counterintuitively, the opposite is often the case. Many applications were written without taking the DPI of displays into account...
