Doing DPI Scaling server side RDP Windows Server 2016

Solution 1:

I agree that the problem can be fixed under Win 2016, but I had to do 2 things in parallel:

Goto „HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\LogPixels“
    => if LogPixels does not exist then create a new DWORD-value
    => Type in Decimal Value:
        96 for Smaller 100%
        120 for Medium 125%
        144 for Larger 150%
Then Goto „HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\IgnoreClientDesktopScaleFactor“
    => if IgnoreClientDesktopScaleFactor does not exist then create a new DWORD-value
    => Type in Decimal Value:
        Turn on     1
        (Turn off   0)

Solution 2:

The W2012 hotfix seems to work with w2016 now

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\IgnoreClientDesktopScaleFactor to 1
