Setting Windows 11 Scaling to 100% Programmatically

How can scaling be set to 100% in Windows 11 programmatically by modifying a registry key or applying a Group Policy Object (GPO)? There is a need to ensure that this setting applies without user intervention. Previous attempts with various registry edits and GPOs have not been successful. Has anyone achieved this outcome?

    Hi Kristin,

    Which specific registry keys or GPOs have you already tried?

    If you haven’t already applied the following, I suggest trying this registry path to enforce:

    Registry path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

    Recommended values:

    LogPixels = 96 (Decimal) – sets scaling to 100%

    Win8DpiScaling = 1 – enables per monitor DPI awareness

    DpiScalingVer = 0x00001018 – specific to Windows 11 configuration

    For GPO deployment, you can apply this path:

    User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry

    Key parameters:

    • Key Path: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop
    • Value Name: LogPixels
    • Value Type: REG_DWORD
    • Value Data: 96

    Hope this helps!
