DISABLE scaling on RDP session

DISABLE scaling on RDP session

Hi everybody,

we started using RDM some days ago and I was wondering if it is possible to DISABLE scaling on an RDP session as I only found solutions to enable it again. My problem is that on my 4K screen I use RDM in one quarter of the screen in 1920x1080, so with scaling enabled I get very little screen estate, plus my eye sight is still OK so I don't mind the small text. I have tried virtually every possible setting but have not succeeded, so if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Regards, JK

Oh, and this only applies to RDP settings to Windows Server 2012 and higher of course, as Server 2008 doesn't support this feature anyway. Changing the RDP version in the options didn't help as well though.

Hello,

Could you try to close RDM, do a right-click on your RDM shortcut and click on the Compatibility tab. In that section, enable the Override high DPI scaling behavior option. In the dropdow menu of that option, select System. Then, press OK and restart your computer.

Best regards,
