    Thanks to Toddlariviere for the solution, here's how it works...

     

    I found a solution for my End User

     

    We had to change scalling for the Application only (not for the monitors)

    On your desktop, right click the program you want to reduce scaling on and select 'Troubleshoot Compatibility'. This will open a troubleshooting window.

    Click 'Troubleshoot Program' and select 'The program opens but doesn't display correctly'.
    This will show the compatibility settings Windows has selected for the program. It should say 'Display settings: Scaling on high DPI'.

    Test the program. Just use the button in the troubleshooting window. If you like how it appears, click Next, then you're done!
