The options are slightly different, so I clicked "Change high DPI settings".
And go into this window, I checked "Override high DPI behavior. Scaling performed by:", then chose "System".
Finally, it fixed the problem!!
However, another small problem comes up, it'd look slightly blur on the text.
But I think it's fine for me.
The move-to-other-monitor logs are below.

Still don't understand why my fix does not work.
1) When you actively resize the too-big-window, does it shrink then to normal size?
2) Does the screen; command now always show the correct screen DPI of each monitor?

Do you mean after adjusting DPI settings, moving XY to second screen would become same size as main screen size?
Then, yes.
2) Does the screen; command now always show the correct screen DPI of each monitor?
I don't know the info below is the correct screen DPI or not.

No, I meant in the original state, without that XYplorer.exe Properties fix.
1) I meant when you drag the XYplorer window to the right screen and it looks too big, when you then resize the window will it adjust to the correct size?
2) The "Screen DPI: " is shown near the bottom of the output of the screen command.

When I resize the window, the text size remains big.

I tried another fix. It's tricky since MS wraps every app in several layers of smartness to protect it from the truth, depending on various system settings.
The
screen; command
should correctly report the specs of the monitor XYplorer is currently running on, independently of where it started. If not even this works we still have a long way to go...
You can call that
screen; command now with a parameter
1 that tells it to update some cached settings. Should not be necessary if all works as planned but who knows:
NOTE: All the above is meaningless when you use the XYplorer.exe Properties setting (Overwrite high DPI scaling behavior...), so please turn that back to normal before testing.

Uploaded another "fix". If that fails too, I'm out of ideas for now.
Thanks for testing!

Just to make sure: you did not use the NoAutoScaling tweak?

I didn't install other tweaks, just keep the original settings.

You can recreate this situation by changing second screen's resolution if you want to test by yourself.

Ok, thanks for that info.
Now I just need to know exactly which messages are sent by Windows when the app moves over to the other monitor. So I added some logging. In the next beta version (v20.60.0001) please do your inter-monitor move, then paste this into the XY address bar, press enter, and post the results:
Don, maybe I'm a noob, but can't seem to get any info by pasting "dlog;"
