I'm sorry to chime in here... but... you didn't even check the scaling settings? I mean... Why not? When I use CRU the first time it will reset my display settings because it's using a new EDID. That's normal. What's so hard about checking scaling settings? Isn't that the first thing you should of done? It literally takes 2 seconds. I can't believe you came on a forum complaining about scaling and didn't even take the time to check the scaling settings yourself. Just wow...

And the award for the person with their head the furthest up their own arse goes to...

Some people have no social skills and seem to be oblivious of it. Just wow.

Your reading comprehension isn't too hot, either. After all, in what reading-comprehension-lacking world is "Am I doing something wrong with CRU? Is there a way I can adjust the adaptive-sync range without making everything become hugeified?" complaining? What I actually came on this forum for is to seek assistance to help with a problem I did not know the cause of - per rational thinking when wanting to solve a problem. But, some people just crave attention, clearly. Are you sure you're sorry for chiming in? It more looks as if you just couldn't help yourself.

What? Just check the scaling settings or use google before coming on a forum wasting everyone's time with a non-issue. Again, what is so hard about just checking the scaling settings? Couldn't you just google the problem? I mean honestly, how in the world do you think a EDID will affect system wide scaling settings? They have nothing at all to do with eachother. All CRU does is edit the CAPABILITIES of your monitor. It does nothing at all to Windows System settings OR Video Card Driver settings, NOTHING. They are "hugified" because when you edit the EDID, it creates a new EDID for you with the edited settings and creates a backup of the original. So, when you use it the first time you may have to re-adjust resolution and scaling settings. Not hard to understand if you just read the documentation, but OBVIOUSLY you did not. And as stated many, many times in this thread, the EDID only reports the capabilities of your monitor in a SOFTWARE form to Windows. It does NOTHING to the monitor firmware or hardware otherwise. Maybe you should learn about computer basics before you do something stupid and break your computer and try to blame some innocuous program like CRU... Funny as ****. If you have problems, go into CRU with your monitor unplugged or in safe mode and delete all profiles of your monitor and then hit the "OK" button, not the "Cancel" button. Restart the computer and the default EDID will be reinstalled automatically by Windows and you are back to square 1. EZ PZ. This account is new just because I wanted to thank the creator of this tool but I have been using CRU since its alpha days.

My icons are hugified how to fix

That you think people in general even know what an EDID is shows how touch you are, and your continued ranting about "of course, it's a new EDID!" drives that fact home. The maker of the CRU application even says "I don't know why the scaling would change automatically like that", so you're completely on your own, there.

Quote:Not hard to understand if you just read the documentation, but OBVIOUSLY you did not.

Ahem: "I don't know why the scaling would change automatically like that" - the creator of CRU

Like maybe 99% of people, no. I first followed a video guide that shows how to use CRU to edit adaptive-sync range. In that video guide, there is no resolution or scaling change shown or mentioned after restarting the computer. I also read the OP of this thread, dunno if that's what you call "the documentation" or not, but it doesn't implicitly make clear what happened, especially since I've never touched monitor scaling.

Quote:And as stated many, many times in this thread, the EDID only reports the capabilities of your monitor in a SOFTWARE form to Windows. It does NOTHING to the monitor firmware or hardware otherwise.

That detail implies nothing in support of your 'of course a new EDID is going to increase the scaling!' spiel.

Quote:Maybe you should learn about computer basics before you do something stupid and break your computer and try to blame some innocuous program like CRU

A statement like that does the opposite of what you intended, and it tells me that you actually know hardly anything about computers, because having a couple decades of extensive experience myself what stands out to me is how ludicrous, unreasonable, and clearly based from a standpoint of inexperience your arguments and claims are. You're just a little kid who feels that knowing one thing somebody else didn't and had no reason to know makes them an elite, and who is probably trying to make-up personal self-esteem points, going about it in the wrong way, for previously being ridiculed by others for not having known something basic.

Quote:If you have problems, go into CRU with your monitor unplugged or in safe mode and delete all profiles of your monitor and then hit the "OK" button, not the "Cancel" button.

Just wow. Why would you do that when using reset-all.exe and restart64.exe immediately reverts the adaptive-sync and scaling change that CRU made? Some elite you are.

Let me tell you, not knowing or figuring that out is far more ridiculous than not knowing what an EDID is, not knowing why scaling is changing when other guides don't show or mention it happening, and when the creator of the program says about it happening, "I don't know why the scaling would change automatically like that". Why do you bother wasting everybody's time with your inexperienced and unhelpful ranting? It's just making yourself look like an ass.

At this point, I think I should lay off on you, because you're obviously very young and undeveloped in your skills of reasoning, problem-solving, and social interaction. I hope you've at least learned a lesson or two, here.

If I run reset-all.exe and then restart my PC, or run restart64.exe, the desktop goes back to its normal size. Though, after running restart64.exe I still have to reset my PC in order for icon preview images to display properly, and for some things to switch back to their normal size.

Am I doing something wrong with CRU? Is there a way I can adjust the adaptive-sync range without making everything become hugeified?
What video card do you have? I don't know why the scaling would change automatically like that, but you should be able to adjust the scaling back to 100% in the Windows display settings.

I just checked this out. After applying CRU and resetting the display driver, at first the Windows scaling setting showed that it was properly set to 100%, which made sense to me because I'd never touched the scaling setting before. But after logging out and logging back into my Windows profile it was then shown as set to 200%. I set it back to 100% and now everything is displaying correctly with CRU. Thanks for the help and for the program!
What are you doing using CRU if you don't even know what an EDID is?!!! LMAO!! And again, CRU DOES NOT CHANGE ANY SYSTEM SETTINGS and DOES NOT CHANGE SCALING SETTINGS. It creates a NEW EDID, that's why you have to readjust your settings. The program does not change ANY settings on its own! The EDID is a software STUB that contains information about your monitor's capabilities, THAT'S ALL. YOU ARE RIDICULOUS... Wow.... And why did you write me a 10 page story as a response, LOL. Btw... I don't read ten page stories on forums so I apologize but I read the first few words, that was enough.

Are you actually specifically trying to make yourself appear ignorant and unhinged? Because that's what you're doing. And if you are oblivious to that, then that's remarkable.

Quote:And again, CRU DOES NOT CHANGE ANY SYSTEM SETTINGS and DOES NOT CHANGE SCALING SETTINGS.

Not a point of discussion. And putting your words in caps expresses that you're desperate.

Quote:It creates a NEW EDID, that's why you have to readjust your settings.

Wrong. To have to readjust settings means they were adjusted previously. In this case, the Windows scaling option on its own changed from 100% to 200% after applying a CRU edit. Therefore, there was no need to readjust a configuration, but to adjust it for the first time after applying CRU resulting in a setting changing on its own.

Quote:YOU ARE RIDICULOUS... Wow.... And why did you write me a 10 page story as a response, LOL. Btw... I don't read ten page stories on forums so I apologize but I read the first few words, that was enough.

^ Ridiculousness personified. And your desperation to have me think you didn't read it tells me that you did. Remember, I didn't make you look stupid - I just pointed out your doing that to yourself.

I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of this. The EDID does contain screen size information that could affect the default scaling, but CRU does not change this information, so this seems like a graphics driver bug, which is why I asked about the video card. The fact that the scaling automatically changed to 200% while still showing 100% in the settings shows this is a bug in something and not normal behavior. CRU has managed to reveal some odd driver bugs and hardware limitations in the past, so it's helpful to know about issues that happen while using CRU even if CRU is not the direct cause.

I know toasty. That's the point I'm making is that your software is completely innocuous by itself. It may reveal driver bugs and limitations but it does nothing to the monitor hardware/firmware itself OR any system or driver settings. The idea that a monitor will retain settings somehow after being powered off and unplugged because of CRU is ridiculous. I just think people should understand the difference between what software, hardware and firmware is and at least look up what an EDID is before using the tool. It seems a little ridiculous that someone would use the tool when they don't even know what an EDID is. It makes me smile because it's just funny to think about honestly. But hey, I am constantly reminded that reality is stranger than fiction. Anyway, I'm going to donate ten dollars to you no matter what in a couple days because I've been using CRU for a long time and it helped me with my last Acer monitor.
Guys i know im gonna ask an annoying question but can someone please tell me where in the windows registry i can delete excess registers?
