MacBook pixels per inch in windows dual boot mode.

Frank_Jen · November 2020

So this morning a new version update happened, and a new ‘new features screen’ popped up and at the bottom right a push button that I can’t see since it’s 3/4 off the dialog box right side. Just another error in calculating pixels per inch, like I have in the budget screen etc. I know it was said to have been fixed a few years ago......

A couple of shots in the dark ...

Font size issues with Quicken for Windows under Parallels on a Mac with Retina monitor.

See if this resolves your issue:
Change your configuration in Parallels and toggle between "Scaled" or "Best for Retina" and see which works better.

You may also have to set the display scaling overrides in Windows (see below)

If you haven't rebooted Windows since the installation of the latest Quicken update, please do that first and try Quicken again.

Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of other Quicken versions please try the following:

Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)

Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:

In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
or

Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.

Now click Properties.

Select the Compatibility tab.

Uncheck all settings.

Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

Try this workaround for 4k monitors

Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level.
