Hi Florian, I know this subject has been done already however it is an ongoing (minor) issue for me. I have upodated software to current v3.11. I am using a Lenovo Yoga 920 with 4K screen. I have tried scaling to vaious different settings with little success. Currently set to "lett Windows Manage" which works for mostly all software. Can this be changed via a hack to force MP3Tag to set the interface to a more usable scale? Thanks.

4K on 15"? This is madness

Is Mp3tag the only software giving you trouble with its tiny elements?

So... something as easy as

**Setting \> Ease Of Access \> Display \> Make everything bigger \> Change the size of aps and text on the main display \> 150%**

does not help?

Have you tried tampering with the usage of Winaero. I gives access to many more [old] options. [But it is easy to mess up the system with it - so doing a backup image first would be strongly advised here]

New laptop, 17" 4K. Had the same issue, tried this, it worked great.

Thanks for the tip!

I also moved all my settings use the Save\>Config process. Anything else I should be doing to migrate to a new laptop?
