Default Ui scaling & Windowed Mode

For my entire time here my UI has been zoomed, apparently I have no idea why, but today I hit Alt+Enter, for the first time since 2015. This brought me to full screen mode, hitting alt enter sent me back to windowed.

However my ui is now native to my screen resolution. Im wondering, is there a way to get it to zoom in, or was that just a windows bug that made my life better than everyone eles's?

Any have any clue what I'm getting at here? Im not the brightest bulb.

fawk my whole window is tinier now too, even if I set it to the same resolution I had it set to before.. like was/is there a windows command I had by default to like zoom this windowed mode up or something?

Still the UI is tiny inside the window. This is nuts if this is what people who been complaining about the UI size have been dealing with yeesh god bless them.

Ok yea, I think the UI is the same size, its just my whole window is now tiny, like, maybe my whole window was getting zoomed in windows, any one know how that may have worked? I wonder.

Edit: Yeah, with OBS it's looking like my window was getting scaled by about 100% the image below is my current accurate pixel 1920x1200 resolution setting, while the forum post in the background is how big my OBS was set to capture EQ prior to me hitting Alt+Enter, you can see the window was like 200% bigger!

Open the Properties for eqgame.exe, go to Compatability tab, click "Change High DPI Settings" and check the box near the bottom to "Override high DPI scaling behavior." Set this to "System"

Oh wow I didnt see these replies, what worked was strangely enough I just deleted myh EQ folder and pasted a new one from my thumb drive, and now its back to the way it was.

I may play with this though if it happens again, thanks guys!
