DPI scaling not working in remote session
I got a new laptop with a screen resolution of 2560x1600. This requires DPI scaling set to 130% to be able to read text on the built-in screen.
RDM version 2026.1.14.0 64-bit (PreJIT)
When starting a RDP session to a Windows server, this scaling is not inherited into the remote session - so very small font.
I tried the steps from this document:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/kb/troubleshooting-articles/high-dpi-issue/
but no effect. I can't get DPI scaling to work in the remote sessions.
I just didn't get the part about the CFG file in that document, that part doesn't seem complete.
So situation:
- shortcut for RemoteDesktopManager.exe has configured 'override high dpi scaling'= application
- DirectX disabled in RDM
- Settings/Entry types/Sessions/RDP, 'disable RDP scale factor' is UNCHECKEDSettings/
- Settings/Hardware accelartion = DISABLED (otherwise still DirectX active)
- Properties of RDP session: Display, Screen sizing mode=Smart Reconnect, Remote Desktop size=Default (Automatic)
What are 'the' steps to achieve inherited DPI scaling in a remote session??
