Hi, I head the same problem on my Surface Book (3200 x 2000). Following these steps helped me:
From: https://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/ Tell windows to prefer an external manifest file As always, make sure you backup your registry (in regedit, go on file > export > select all > and save the backupfile) and tread lightly in this area. We are just going to add one line. 1. Press Windows Button + R, type “regedit”, and then click OK. 2. Navigate to the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide 3. Right-click, select NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value 4. Type PreferExternalManifest, and then press ENTER. 5. Right-click PreferExternalManifest, and then click Modify. 6. Enter Value Data 1 and select Decimal. 7. Click OK. Exit Registry Editor. If on your windows the name extensions are not displayed do following steps (for windows 10): 1. In the Explorer click on View 2. Select the checkbox for "Fileextensions" Then use the attached file or create by yourself: Therefor create a Textfile in the Folder where gimp is installed, named: gimp-2.8.exe.manifest. (Maybe you need Administrator rights, so create the File on your desktop and copy it to the folder after it) Put following text into that file and save it. ----------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"> </assemblyIdentity> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT" version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"> </assemblyIdentity> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo> <asmv3:application> <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings";> <ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings";>false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware> </asmv3:windowsSettings> </asmv3:application> </assembly> ----------------------- Now you should be able to start Gimp with normal scaling. Hope it helps, Aamer. >Hi, > >I have just dowloaded Gimp 2.8.16 and installed it on my Windows 10 - >64 bit PC.
