Oracle UI grotesquely HUGE.

Post by veloz »

Hi there
I'm running Vbox on a Surface Pro and which i connect via a dock to various monitors. Today when I started Virtual Box, the interface is grotesquely HUGE. The title bar is like 2" tall, the fonts are huge, etc. And then when I double click to start a vbox instance, that ends up being grotesquely huge as well (the scaling reads 100%).

How can I "reset", or make Virtual Box "forget" its assumptions about resolution scaling so that I can get back on track here? It seems like it's remembering and applying some "past" setting without regard for the current screen I'm using..

Hello, could you clarify some bits:
1. Which VBox version is that?
2. Which Surface Pro? At least which screen resolution it has?
3. Which host OS has your Surface Pro installed? Is it Windows 10?
4. Which system scale factor is set on Surface Pro host OS (in the host OS display settings)?
5. What other screens do you have? Is the issue happens for all screens including the screen of Surface Pro or only for external monitors?
Thx in advance!
