More or less, I'd say I'm seeing everything in a. The logo will appear tiny, and I it's completely unreadable. My viewport meta tag is not making any effect on the page in this case. Right-click the Chrome icon from the start menu then select > Properties > Compatibility > and Check the box for “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”.I'm using the device metrics override in Chrome to test a responsive website for smaller resolutions (320x480 in this case).

It didn’t work for me with Windows 7 but some people have noted in the comments section below that it works for them so it’s worth adding to the list. Update: Here’s a third option, and it’s the best one to use if it works for you.

Unpinning Chrome and dragging it back from the start menu fixed the problem, but it’s not a permanent fix anyway because other links to Chrome (like hyperlinks in PDFs) can trigger the larger UI as well. For example, it didn’t work at first for me because I was opening Chrome from a link pinned to the taskbar. If the scaling isn’t back to normal, make sure to launch Chrome from the location specified above.

exe” part and the first forward slash, like shown in the picture above. Make sure there’s a blank space between the. high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 Right-click on the Google Chrome shortcut or start menu icon and select properties.Įnter the following code at the end of the text in the Target field: Just type “dpi” into your Windows search bar and open the top result, “Make text and other items appear larger and smaller” (at least that’s how it is on Windows 7). That will make Chrome appear how it used to but everything else will be smaller, so it’s not a very good fix. The obvious fix is to just set your computer’s DPI scaling back to 100%. I was glad to find a workaround to fix Chrome because the first option below is no good for me… Option #1 I have the DPI scaling on my Windows computer set at 125% because I could never stand everything being so tiny on a large screen. If you have the DPI scaling set to 125% or greater on your Windows computer, then the Chrome browser will scale differently depending on that setting. Now it does, and that’s the root cause of the large interface issue. Google Chrome didn’t used to pay attention to your Windows DPI setting. With the Chrome 54 update they made it so Chrome can detect the DPI setting on your computer so that the web browser will be scaled accordingly. If the browser is not starting at all, then reinstalling may solve the problem. It’s not a permanent fix because Chrome is essentially doing what it is supposed to be doing. Also what do you mean not working Different types of problems have different solutions. It turns out there’s a simple workaround.
