10How to Change Scaling for Specific Apps in Windows 11 [Solution]
DPI or Dots Per Inch is the measurement of pixel density measured by the number of display pixels and their size. High DPI displays have high pixel density compared to the standard DPI displays. On a high DPI display, some applications may show blurry fonts, or the fonts appear small, which makes it difficult to read. Such problems can be fixed by changing the display scaling in Windows 11 Settings. But you must change the display scaling every time you use such applications. A simple solution is to change scaling for specific apps in Windows 11. In this tutorial, we will explain how to do that.

Adjusting display scaling or DPI scaling is important if you have poor eyesight or just want to make things easier on the eyes.
DPI scaling is a feature that Windows introduced to improve the readability and usability of applications on high-DPI displays. High-DPI displays have more pixels per inch than standard displays to show more details. However, this also means that the elements of the applications, such as text, icons, and buttons, can appear too small and hard to see on high-DPI displays. To solve this problem, Windows can scale applications by a certain percentage based on the DPI setting of your monitor. You can do this by right-clicking on your Desktop - choose Display, then Scale. My machine is at 3840x2160 px, and I scale to 200% so that fonts and icons are legible -- but this setup can cause problems.
DPI, also known as Dots per inch, refers to the measurement of how many pixels can fit within an inch of a display. This affects how big or small the text, icons, apps, and other elements appear on your screen. If you increase the DPI scale, everything will appear larger, while decreasing it will make things smaller.
