About this tag
Per-monitor awareness is a DPI scaling feature in Windows that enables desktop applications to render correctly on high-DPI displays, especially when docking, undocking, or using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Without per-monitor awareness, applications can appear blurry or incorrectly sized when moved between monitors with different scaling factors. The Windows 10 Creators Update introduced improvements to per-monitor awareness, allowing applications to dynamically adjust their rendering based on the DPI of the monitor they are displayed on.
