Hi,
I need to change it below 100%. You said in 1:16 it could be achived. How?
Advanced scaling settings are allowed only 100-500% and none works for what I need. Is there a way to reduce scale screen area in windows?
Thks

[@yupyupgoodywops]

Did you find a solution to this?

[@georgemcaldeira5632]

@sophiestreeter6274 Hi,
Sorry, but no. No luck in finding answers.
I found reading forums that could only be achieved using video card proper settings with software app.

[@TropicalTech]

@@georgemcaldeira5632 Yes unfortunately it's not possible to lower it below 100% in Windows without something third party. I don't recall saying it in the video either, what I meant was you can lower the percentage e.g. from 150 down to 100 to make it smaller.

[@sarahcharris2]

I'm the same. Can't go below 100% but need the entire page on the screen for screen shot

[@sarahcharris2]

It use to be bottom, right of screen before I was forced to upgrade

[@reflexplayzz1864]

2nd to comment
And
Video idea: How to disable lock screen. I already can figure it out but there is a lot of people who dont know how
Just a vid idea :)

[@TropicalTech]

Thanks for that! I'll add it to the list 😀

How to set it below 100?

[@NeoPoly1972]

What do you do to sign back in? Email, pin or password?

[@TropicalTech]

I’m not sure what you mean by sign back in

[@soulstice99]

Any keyboard shortcut to cancel custom scaling ? My increased it by randomly pressing keys

[@TropicalTech]

Was it definitely scaling as "Ctrl & +" or "Ctrl & -" can zoom in things like browsers as well as holding Ctrl whilst scrolling the middle mouse button

[@gorei_loves_yall]

bro i just needed the start the settings one lol

[@luhbferreira]

is there a way to set it to under 100%? I need to use a big monitor but my graphics card can't run on 4k, so I need to make the display smaller so the ppi isn't as bad..

[@TropicalTech]

Unfortunately there isn't a way to set it to less than 100% in Windows. I'm not sure why to be honest as it would make sense. It may be possible with certain software but I have no experience with any that I can recommend.

[@luhbferreira]

@@TropicalTech Yeah I've been searching for something for a while now and still haven't found something.. thanks anyway!

[@familiemai4506]

Idk why they changed it. It worked like a year ago. Triey it today again but it just doesnt work anymore :/

[@empirezen5013]

I wanted it set to under 100% too. Did you find out how eventually? Like using a software or something like that?

[@5hymon]

is there a way to make under 100? I have 1440p monitor as my main and 1080 as secendary and i want to make my secondary monitor to 75% to match size of icon and other stuff to main monitor

[@TropicalTech]

Not in the Windows settings unfortunately. You may be able to depending on your graphics card, e.g. if you have Nvidia then change settings in the Nvidia control panel

[@FLTGT]

I turned on my monitor and it was just soo big!

[@user-xe3il2bj3y]

how do you make scale/size even smaller than 100?

[@TropicalTech]

Unfortunately not possible natively in Windows

[@AidenGriffin316]

It only lets me zoom in

[@TropicalTech]

You can’t set it lower than 100% if that’s what you’re referring to

[@marcoandxiangameplay4627]

how to fix mine have 2 options its 1024 x 768 bro how to fix i want more reso

[@TropicalTech]

This video isn't for resolution, to improve that you'll likely need a better screen or monitor

[@ameytathe7524]

It was helpful thank you

[@Loophole1999]

How do i do do it below 100%

[@TropicalTech]

Not possible in default Windows unfortunately

[@beingjaden]

When ever I cahnge it from 100% to 175% it just looks the same, it is too zoomed in for my liking and I can't change it

[@user-sr6ui9ie5c]

how did you did to make smaller like yours? mine is on 100% and the setting buttons and those thing are bigger

[@TropicalTech]

100% is the smallest you can get it, mine appears smaller because it’s a high resolution monitor

[@angelorobloxstorys6466]

I just put 450 and it went bigger

[@Etoos299]

I want decrease my 16 inch gaming laptop screen to 14 inch 😢

That’s not the scale that would be the size

Why won't it let you change back? The option should be somewhere on the screen

So it did exactly what it’s supposed to do, not sure why that makes the video unhelpful! You shouldn’t have set it so high, very few would need it to go above 250
