DPI scaling in Windows Client
- Sep 28, 2016
From what I understand, the DPI scaling issues were fixed in 16.0.7326.1000, so if you are running a build that is equal to, or above this, it should now work. What version are you currently using?
Current Channel shows Version 1608 (Build 7341.2035), released on September 26, 2016.

That's fantastic news, thank you Bryce for the pointer. We are on Current Channel and still have 16.0.7301.1019. I'll dig up the latest build and try it out.
I have installed the Current Channel release of 7341 and the DPI problem remains. However, there is some confusion about what version is really installed. Although Office reports 7341, the apps themselves report 7301. I have a ticket opened with Microsoft support and it's at Tier 3 now to try to figure out what version they are actually pushing with Current Channel. I'll report back on the state of DPI scaling when I get a definitive answer.
My apologies to Bryan for concatenating your name. Thanks again for the pointer to this fix. It led me to this blog post, which is the best public communcation I've seen from Microsoft on the DPI scaling issue: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2016/08/16/display-scaling-changes-for-the-windows-10-anniversary-update/?OCID=WIP_r_18_Body_DisplayScaling
