I have installed the SDL Trados 2017 version onto a Dell XPS running windows 10 and as you can see from this screenshot, the dimensions/scaling at the top of the screen (close/minimise buttons) and the icons on the bottom left are minuscule.
Is this a problem with the fact it is a 4K resolution screen?
How can this be fixed? (reducing the resolution or anything in Display Settings does not solve this scaling issue).
Many thanks

Hi Matthew,
I thought you might be able to use a little imagination :-)
I am surprised you can't find the registry key though... I have done this on quite a few 2017 W10 installs and it has been a successful fix. Maybe careful take a another look:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide
Many apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs here, but it is easy to go down the wrong path when messing with the registry. The solution is a fix used by many application vendors... another example here specifically for W10:

Unknown said:Perhaps SDL just needs to get with the times and make an update that's compatible with modern displays, so that we can they have the correct scalability without reverting to 1995 resolution.
Indeed. Studio 2017 did make a good start on this but it is a work in progress that needs completing.

I don't think I have missed the point ;-). But you might be misunderstanding some terms.
First, are you talking about "computers" (i.e. desktop ones, with separate - and appropriately sized - screen), or about notebooks (where 4K display is totally pointless because of the 'modern' ridiculously small displays like 13")? Notebook with 4K native display is actually a BIG warning sign, a dealbreaker actually. At least for people who know...
...the consequences of scaling. No offence, but it looks like you are misunderstanding what scaling actually is. It is exactly what you NEED to turn on in order to be able to have things reasonably sized on screens with resolution ridiculously big relatively to the screen's physical size... i.e. what the Office you mention above actually USES (as opposed to your belief that it doesn't). NOT USING SCALING means "work as you were used to so far" on screens with resonable size/resolution ratio (e.g. 1920 x 1200 on 24", 1920 x 1080 on ~23", etc.), i.e. that 1 picture pixel is displayed using exactly 1 pixel of the screen (AKA 1:1 pixel mapping).
Anyway, this is not meant as some kind of flame, I just thought it's worth to do this little 'education', as too many people nowadays don't get the consequences of marketing massages they get :-\
