Just realized, Windows (obviously) now the screen resolution.
If we told it the screen diagonal (as in: 24", 21.5", 26") it can calculate the best WYSIWIG screen DPI!
Why do I have to select it myself as a percentage?
Anyhow as I realized that I calculate it and selected on my screen! Woopah! 
For the record, if RESx and RESy is the horizontal and vertical resolution respectively and Sd is the screen diagonal in inches, and 96 is the base Windows DPI then the value to select for text size is
SQRT( RESx^2 + RESy^2 ) / Sd / 96
Multiple that by 100 to get a percentage.. (as the UI ask to select a percentage)
Is the custom text size to select for WYSIWIG rendering on the screen!

Resizing is wasting screen real-estate IMO.
That's why my 4K monitor is 40" across.
|
|
|
|

In that case you are the one currently wasting space!!!
If you are using 2500x1440 resolution on a 40" screen, you should scale your dpi to 75% (i.e. smaller font = more text on screen) 
Just saying!

The other reason I don't resize is that rescaling anything tends to look like crap.
Besides--I'm not sure why you brought up 2500x1440, 4K is 3820x2160.

Alright... I am not sure what 4K is TBH!
Just mentioned my own screen resolution!
That would be 114% then. I used 115% on my Windows 10 pc and most app are fine so far, I did noticed some bluriness on only 1 so far!

800x600, a really powerful wireless mouse and you can move down the block and still work on the desktop

My setup is 4k at 32" that gives me ~143% according to your calculation. So 150% is probably OK option for me. Thank you for posting it. At least I can be assured it is OK.

Okay, where do I purchase 3-D-Xpoint Memory ? I checked the following places...
Intel and Micron announced it this week. It would be a nice business model to sell the product that you make.

...to Windows 10 Pro on a Lenovo Thinkpad I bought a few weeks ago.
After updating, it continuously crashes with the message "It looks like Windows hasn't loaded correctly".
There's tomorrow night gone reinstalling Windows 8.1 
[Edit] After uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI video drivers, everything appears to be working. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
[Edit2]: Just to add a bit more info in case anyone else has similar issues, the error reported was INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR.. yes, I know!

Mm... how could you uninstall video driver?
"Safe mode"?!
|
|

It seems to pick up a generic PNP driver (which seemed to work fine) once the ATI Redeon one was removed.
Once I rebooted, I went back in and updated the video driver and it reinstalled the ATI driver (exactly the same as what I had), minus the crashing.

I had a similiar issue today, I upgraded a few days ago and everything went fine, but when I started up the PC today, it got stuck into something like an infinite loop, obviously trying to load or initialize the video driver (the display kept flashing over and over). The nasty thing about it was that even safe-mode didn't work anymore, so the only solution was to reinstall.

It's not exactly the smooth upgrade that I (and I imagine the general public) was expecting.

Clean install keeps most problems at bay.

That's what I'd normally do, but Microsoft are pushing this out to the majority of users as an upgrade.
Having had a look over the interwebs there seems to be some random issues with ATI (what I have in my laptop) and Nvidia drivers being reported, as well as a few network card issues.

Well, I beat them to it and got the ISO and clean-installed it myself.

Just read this article, you might want to reconsider doing that clean install (at least the first time around)..

Quote: So, what you actually need to do is update first to be on the safe side. This will register your device with Microsoft and once installed, Windows 10 will receive its own product key and once you’ve located this, you can note it down and use it to install Windows 10 from scratch after you’ve formatted your hard disk or are installing on a new one.

I'm a developer, and this goes on my development machines.
So far, it accepted my MSDN keys without complaining on 4 different ones.

If you've got the keys then you'll be okay - I think this guy was saying that for most users, they won't get the key directly?

So then, as per the article, upgrade, then wipe and reinstall...?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, just like your mother told you. Don't forget to wipe!

The analogy is quite a-propos.
Upgrades tend to leave a stinky mess, so yeah--always best to wipe.
