Photoshop and Solidworks - high resolution monitor 3840 DPI - small ICONS

[theshadow]

I am running Windows 10 on my Lenovo P70 with the high resolution screen and dual 1 terabyte drives.  The problem is the Toolbar and related Icons are very small and changing settings does not work.  I found a temporary solution which involved adding a manifest file in the registry and that quit as soon as I used the slider to change size of icons and it no longer works. 

ANY SUGGESTIONS?  This is a major challenge - Lenovo tech support has worked on it for over 8 hours without success.

That's quite a hefty piece of kit - and expensive by my standards

Has it always done this or did it follow something you have installed or say after a Windows Update ?

I would think Lenovo would probably have covered all of the bases, but depending upon how and when it started, a repair install may help.

Go Start - type winver and press enter - this will tell you which version of Win 10 you currently have installed.

If you don't have an install disk and depending which version you are running, you can download the 1703 ISO and create bootable media by hitting the Download tool now button after reading how to create the install media from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

However, if you are using 1607 or earlier then hover over Win 10 in the top menu bar in this article and then hover over your version which will give you a sub-menu and select the Standard download for your version.

Select Save and then you can use Windows own USB/DVD Burner Tool to create the bootable media of your choice.

I don't know if you know how to perform a repair install but with Windows Explorer/This PC open, insert the install media and double click on the drive.

I've found that when using a DVD that will invoke the install but when using an USB, that opens and you double click on the setup.exe

During the process, select not to search for updates and that will give you some leeway before the updates start to download/install to see if it was updates that caused the problem.

A repair install doesn't affect your personal stuff or any programs you have installed.

It's also possible someone else may have experienced the same as you, so it may be worth registering on this forum and open a thread.
