I could do that, but I have absolutely no time for it these days. Later...

I've got the same issue. More problematically then lacking dynamic scaling, XYplorer insists on staying locked at the wrong scaling, even when its restarted and the other monitor is disconnected. The only workaround is to sign out of Windows and sign back in. Is there any fix in the works? I love using XYplorer and this keeps pushing me back to Explorer until I can find an opportunity to sign back in again. Thank you.

Sounds weird. Scaling info is not stored across sessions but determined freshly on each start up. Don't know what to make of this at the moment. :eh:

Welcome to the club, anyway!

Just coming back to this after living for months with incorrect scaling on my second monitor. Not sure if something in the Win 10 Creators Update helped with this, but I now find that if I right click on the XYPlorer app (desktop icon) and choose "Properties > Compatibility", check "Override high DPI scaling" and set scaling performed by "System (Enhanced)", then XYPlorer seems to display at the correct scaling for that monitor. At least it's working so far.

It did, this option was introduced with this Update.
