Microsoft is finally changing this annoying Windows 11 behavior – but there’s a catch

Microsoft has long been known for its commitment to improving its products, but one slightly annoying behavior associated with Windows 11 has finally gotten the attention it deserves. After months of user frustration, Microsoft has announced it is changing this behavior in the near future: However, there’s a catch.

When using the Windows 11 operating system, certain UI elements would not display properly if the User Interface Scale Factor (DPI) was changed above the default 125%. This has been an issue that has plagued Windows users for some time, but it is finally getting the fix it deserves. Microsoft has announced that it will be changing this behavior in the next version of Windows 11.

The good news is that Microsoft is changing this behavior. But the bad news is that while UI elements will display properly at DPI settings above 125%, some of these UI elements will no longer scale properly. That means if you increase your DPI settings above 125%, you will have to sacrifice some of the scaling benefits of higher DPI settings.

Despite this catch, Microsoft is still pushing forward with the fix in order to improve the overall user experience. Windows 11 users will no longer have to put up with annoying UI scaling issues when increasing their DPI settings above 125%. Microsoft has not provided an exact timeline for when this change will be implemented, but it is likely to be released in the near future.

In the meantime, Windows 11 users can continue to adjust their DPI settings, but they should be aware of this particular caveat – UI elements will not scale properly past the 125% mark. Fortunately, this should not be an issue for most users, as 125% is a more than sufficient scaling factor for most uses.

Ultimately, Microsoft is changing this annoying Windows 11 behavior once and for all. While there is a catch, it should not affect most users. As Windows 11 updates continue to roll out, users can continue to benefit from Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to improving their products.
