📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user's experience with a custom registry tweak that zooms or doubles the pixels during remote login to a Windows 10 machine, and their desire to revert this setting. The user recalls modifying a registry setting years ago on a 4K laptop to adjust scaling specifically during remote desktop sessions using mstsc.exe, but notes that using the Windows Remote Desktop app does not reproduce this issue. A respondent suggests adjusting zoom settings directly within the remote desktop session or via the RDP icon, implying that user interface options may help manage display scaling. Overall, the exchange centers on troubleshooting and understanding display scaling behaviors during remote connections.

I've made a change to Windows that will zoom or double the pixels when remote loggin ind. I'd like to remote this setting.

2-3 year af ago I got a 4K laptop that when loggin ind via remote desktop (mstsc.exe) would make everything miniscule. Somehow I made a change, i think to the registry, that zoom to 200% or like only when loggin in via mstsc.exe.

The change i made on the host.

Using Win10 Remote Desktop *APP*, the change does not happen.

Do anyone have an idea of what change I've made? I've searched the net, and this has happened before the PregerManifest solution was available (or easy to find).

In the remote desktop session (non full screen) you can right click the rdp icon and change the zoom from there.
