Greetings everyone,  

I have been journeying through the evolution of Windows from its early days all the way to Windows 11, although I wouldn’t consider myself an expert. This ASUS laptop, my second device running W11, has presented me with a challenge regarding display sizes. While I have encountered and resolved similar issues on previous machines, tackling them on this particular device is proving to be a bit of a challenge. It seems that the root cause of the various issues I am experiencing lies within a misconfiguration in the Windows settings.

Specifically, I am facing the dilemma of certain text and icons appearing excessively small within some applications, while others maintain an appropriate size. Despite adjusting the “Scale” setting to 150% and the “Display resolution” to the recommended 1920 x 1080, deviating from these configurations only exacerbates the visual inconsistencies.

For instance, when utilizing the open-source image editor GIMP to create images, I notice that the images appear significantly larger when viewed online using the Firefox browser or through an image viewer compared to their depiction within GIMP itself. This discrepancy is reminiscent of a past issue I encountered, although I cannot recall how I resolved it, if at all. Furthermore, within GIMP, the tools on the tool palette appear unusually minuscule, a stark departure from my 15 years of seamless GIMP usage on various machines.

Moreover, an anomaly has arisen with TK8 Sticky Notes, where the header text inexplicably shrinks when the note is minimized. Despite adjusting the text size within the note itself, the title size remains unchanged. It is my belief that all these issues stem from a common misconfiguration within the Windows settings.

How can I rectify these display anomalies? Interestingly, my previous Dell laptop running W11 did not present me with these challenges, further emphasizing the unique nature of this current situation.
