High DPI (4k) VERY Bad Window Display - Windows Resolution does not correlate

Description

See screenshots attached to understand what the problem is.

Setup: I have a 15 inch 4k laptop with 250% scale for text
Problem: Greenshot does not scale accordingly, see attachments

Possible Solutions:

  • Some Programs add a settings to select High DPI for the usage, see attached example to see how "krita" has it

  • The attached file (as seen in the video) is supposedly able to fix the problem in (C:\Program Files\Greenshot) for many applications but does not in this case, see screenshots and taken instructions here: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

Environment

See attachment for my windows version (Win 10 Creators Update - Latest)

So many years later and this is STILL an issue. Can we please have a fix for this as this has made the app unusable.

Same here. Major issue using this great software on the new 4K screen. Blocker and still unassigned?
