Monitor No. 1 is Surface (2736x1824), which screen I have set on 200 % zoom.
No. 2 and 3 are standard office 21" Benq monitor (1920x1080).
No. 3 is set as the main screen.

On 2 and 3 the XYplorer is OK.
On the screen no. 1 (Surface) resolution of XYplorer is not correct.
I am able to zoom icons of toolbar, text of files and folders, but I am not able to zoom text of menu bar and status bar and icons of folders and files.
Bad resolution od XYplorer

The best I can offer is (for Win10/11):
- right-click XYplorer.exe
- turn on "Override high dpi scaling" and set to "System Enhanced"

Have the same problem, Your tip solves it, but has a drawback,

When I open a excel file the excel opens and inherits the setting "System Enhanced" and is shown to big on the first screen, except I had opened excel previous outside of xyplorer. Also other program (not all as it seems) get confused because they inherit the setting.

I fixed it for one program so that I start it via Powershell script and change the setting in the script to DPI Awareness.

The problem seems that compatibility fixes are inherited by subprocesses which are started from this program.

Try checking Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Open files from 64-bit process. This may break the inheritance.

Tried it, did not break it (with excel).

After the script lines from there I set a Start-Process, it looks like the programm inherits now this config.
