Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080

when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.

In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.

I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.

It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8

Only solution I found is turn off "Turn on fast start-up".

When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.

But it'll make my boot time longer.

It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.

So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1

Best regards

I shall suggest you two things:

1] Firstly update your graphic card driver. Visit the website of the graphic card manufacturer to update this.

2] You can also try to  change DPI Scaling via registry editing.

Hi,

As I know, monitor setting is mostly related to the display card driver, since this issue only happned after you upgraded to Windows 8.1, so it is mostly a driver compatibility issue, have you contact the video cards' manufacture to check if they have released any new driver.

Regards
