Windows 10 IE/QC Client displays clipping when display DPI set to 150%
| ♥ 0 |
We just rolled out an upgrade to our PC’s (laptops and desktops) ending up with Windows 10 (not creators ed.). With Windows 7, we could use the 150 setting and still get QC to show a zoomed (and scaled) QC client. Now, with Windows 10, the QC client works fine without setting the "zoom"/DPI setting (still 100%), but on a small laptop screen (instead of a 20" monitor), it is unbearable and very hard to red the tiny text. ![alt text][1] [1]: /storage/temp/612-ie11clipped.png Any ideas?

This is a strange one, but expected. If you look at the HPE System Requirements for QC/ALM going back many versions to QC/ALM11, It clearly states that it will only work with 100% DPI setting. Apparently, this limit was not noticed until now when something changed in the IE/DPI scaling settings internally to Windows 10. QC/ALM does not ''scale'' the text the same way and results in ''clipping''. Basically, the text is getting larger, but the ''cell''/box on the page is not, so results in chopped off text. HPE currently has no solution for this and still considers this a a **''limitation''.** There IS a **workaround,** though: Use the **ALM Explorer** (stand-alone QC client), which is available from Tools/More Add-ins.
