My problem is that I am using a hiDPI screen with resolution 3200x1800 but when I launch some specific application, I cannot use this resolution because the text is too small. I tried to change the resolution to 1920x1800 and changed the size of all items from 200% to 150% from Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display. The application works fine at these settings. Is there a way to automatically change the resolution and size to this one when I launch a specific application?

I want it to be changed when I start that specific application, and then returned to 3200x1800 when the application is closed.

You could always create a batch script that

  1. Changes the screen resolution
  2. Launches the application
  3. Changes the resolution back when the application is terminated.

To do this you would want to download Qres then create a .bat script with the following:

@echo off
Qres.exe /x:1920 /y:1080
applicationYouWantToLaunch.exe
Qres.exe /x:3200 /y:1800

Might try checking the 'Let me chose one scaling level for all my displays' setting in Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display. This will disable Windows' automatic per-app HiDPI scaling and allow you to set one single scaling level for all programs. I prefer this over allowing Windows to 'guess' when it should use HiDPI scaling. With this setting, I find less dramatic difference between HiDPI and non-HiDPI-aware apps.
