Hi All, I was recently trying to migrate to PrePoMax v2.5.0 and ran into a technical issue when launching the program with “High DPI scaling behavior” overridden to _Application_. I’m wondering if there is a way to troubleshoot this. To start, my system is Windows 11 and has Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 installed. I need to set the display scale to 125% on my system for better readability of fonts. However, this makes the PrePoMax graphics appear blurry when I run it as-is. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/b/b04dfd2bebb409e89be9148c4e51cc86c0183d47.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/c/ca4b911fdb5480de0aaf59dc125242ad29aa8f37.png) Up until v2.4.0, I used to go to the executable properties and change the high DPI settings as follows, which would fix the issue (DPI setting controlled by Application): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/b/bafcd63f451af1ac884edc38f3e946db8c5da4e7.png) When I apply the same setting in v2.5.0, I can no longer launch the program — the initial splash screen appears briefly and then disappears. I can still launch the program if the setting is set to “High DPI scaling performed by the system,” but in that case the blurriness persists.\ I also can launch the application with Display scale at 100% even when the high DPI scaling is controlled by the application. It appears the problem occurs when the system display scale is greater than 100% and when the high DPI scaling is performed by Application. I am wondering if anyone else ran into such issue and could troubleshoot it. Thanks, Shah ---

It seems to be a bug (it shouldn’t behave this way), so let’s use the appropriate Bug Reports category. I have the same behavior on one laptop with Windows 11. Perhaps it’s also related to this: [Program doesn’t start on Windows since v 2.5](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/program-doesn-t-start-on-windows-since-v-2-5/3413) since it started in 2.5.0 as well. ---

Thanks a lot for moving this post to the right category. Glad that I am not the only one dealing with this issue. ---

I will look into it. But I did not change anything that could have such an effect. ---

Hi Matej, This display scaling bug relevant to v2.5.0 appears to be fixed in v2.6.0 RC3. Unless others are still running into it, we can probably close out this bug. Thanks ---
