Issue with Start Menu and Font Size in Windows 8.1 Pro When Waking from Sleep Mode.

Hi,

I have been using Windows 8.1 Pro for 1 month on my system with following settings:

  • Thinkpad Yoga i7, 8GB RAM, Intel 4400 HD.
  • Resolution set is at Default on 1920x1080.
  • Scaling at 150%

There is a big issue I have encountered many times which is very annoying. When I put the laptop to sleep mode, especially when it is in sleep mode for more that 2-3 hours, when it wakes up, all the fonts in windows Start Menu becomes smaller. This font change would also be seen in Windows Log on menu.

This will result in having 6 rows in start menu and the font are very tiny.

As I look to display settings, all the values are unchanged.

A restart will solve the problem and all the font sizes will come back to normal. But this is very annoying because I need to restart many times with no reason.

I appreciate any comments on this.

Thanks

Hi,

According to your description, it seems like Graohic driver problem. Please check Graphic driver updates or reinstall Graphic driver for test. please access to Lenove official site to download driver.

In addition, please access to Power Managment in Control Panel,

Control Panel\hardware and sound\power option\edit plan setting\change advance power settings\

Then find Intel(R) Graphic Settings, try to switch to Maximum Performance for test.

If problem persists, please check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

I checked all above-mentioned comments. Non of them solved the problem.

Still after few hours in sleep mode, Windows DPI will restore to its original values and only a "Log Off" or "Restart" will bring it back to normal.

This is a very annoying bug.

I have attached the screenshots here.
