Remote Connection Desktop Manager 2.7 does not support dpi scaling anymore?

I upgraded Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager from 2.2 to 2.7, but the new version DOES NOT SUPPORT DPI-Scaling anymore!



In version 2.2, you could define a fixed size for the remote server (e.g. 1920x1080), and then you could scale it to any client size you wanted. Therefore, on a 4K monitor, you had always had a very fine view of your server.



But now, in Version 2.7, I need a microscope to view my servers ;))



What happened? How can it be that a version of 2010 supports 4K monitors BETTER than a version from 2014 ????
Already the "Help->About" dialog is ill-scaled ! ;)



Has anyone a solution, other than going back to 2.2 ?

          To clarify where to find this checkbox, go to the actual .exe file in C:Program Files (x86)MicrosoftRemote Desktop Connection Manager and right click the .exe file and click the Compatibility tab.O



          2018 Windows 10 Update (1803/1809)



          There are new cascading dialogs as shown below

            Windows 10 (unsure which version - I have Creators Update) makes this a bit more complicated because there are now multiple modes under a checkbox named Override high DPI scaling behavior: Scaling performed by Application, System, or System (Enhanced).

          RDCMan.exe --> Properties --> uncheck “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”.
