Display is stuck at 175% and cannot reset
I've tried so many times to reset the scale back to normal but it is literally stuck at 175%. I have tried setting it to 100% and 'turn off custom scaling' but nothing works. There is no button to ac...
I’ve seen this happen—Windows scaling can bug out and get stuck, especially after using custom scaling. Here’s what usually works for me:
Sign out and back in after changing the scaling setting (sometimes it needs a restart or sign-out to actually apply).
Go to Settings > System > Display > Scale, set it to 100%, and apply, then restart your PC.
If “Turn off custom scaling” is grayed out or not working, open Run (Win + R), type ms-settings:easeofaccess-display and make sure “Make everything bigger” is set to 100%.
If still stuck, try changing it to another value (like 125%), apply, restart, then go back to 100%.
This worked for me, thanks!
