How to change the overall UI scaling of 3dsMax?

Hello,

I'm using two monitors of different resolutions (27" and 32") and I'm already not using the "high-resolution settings" of the system in order to have a properly working UI.

So my the scaling is always much smaller on the 32" monitor. That's nothing new so far.

Yesterday I changed in Windows 10, which monitor should be the main monitor of the system, and choose the 32" (which makes sense for other reasons)

Result:

Now the interface has the right scale for the 32" monitor but is far too huge for the 27" monitor.

In Maya I could solve this with a setting in the preferences called "Do not scale".

In Max I can't find anything like this. Only unchecked "use big buttons", which shows the buttons at a proper scale but still, the rest scaled.

(Using any "high-dpi" setting overrides by the system makes the UI of Max and Maya unusable.)

Is there any solution to this? Thanks

small letters have proper scale, rest is far to big, wasting a lot screenspace on all four sidesmissing this setting in 3dsMax

Does the Windows Screen Scaling settings not solve your problem? It accessible through a right click on the desktop clicking on Display Settings. I presume it can be adjusted individually for each separate monitor.
