F360 interface suddenly HUGE (Win 10)

[Anonymous]

Windows 10, 4k monitor, text 100%, scaling 150%

F360 was working fine with what I would consider a normal size toolbar, normal sharp icons, and readable but not huge text given my system settings and when compared to other apps (e.g. AutoCAD). I didn't change any of my system settings and suddenly today when I launch F360 the splash screen is huge and pixelated and then when the app loads the toolbar and all icons are massive and pixelated, and the main 3D view axes are also pixelated. I checked the preferences and toggled hi-res graphics on and off, it made no difference. I tried editing the app's Properties in Windows to adjust the Hi-DPI Compatibility (which I never touched before) and that didn't get me back to the regular size sharp interface either. Finally, I uninstalled and reinstalled it but the problem remains.

What could have happened and how do I fix it? Does F360 somehow update itself automatically and some new app update screwed up the interface? Otherwise I can't figure out what went wrong. All the other apps on my system are fine, including AutoCAD.

Here is a full size screenshot (link below). Notice, for example, that the labels below each toolbar section are small, and the down-arrows are huge. The text in the Browser section is so small it's nearly unreadable as is the text in the toolbar drop-down menus. The Data Panel is 2x as wide as normal. And the icons are all enormous, so that the toolbar and the status bar take up more than 20% of the vertical space when it was 10% before. It's like everything got flipped -- the text is way too small now, and the icons are way too huge. 

I really don't know what happened, I didn't change anything... and I've been through every single Display preference in Windows, toggled everything on and off, and nothing can get Fusion to go back to how it was (which previously had everything in a good balance, like you see in basically every Fusion 360 video or screenshot on this site). And like I said, no other app has these problems.

No solution? Come on this is Pro software, and every professional is using 4K these days. Why is F360 so buggy on hi-res displays? It's 2020, this shouldn't be an issue.

I found the solution -- I had to rollback a recent Windows update that occurred around October 14th. For some reason this affected the Fusion 360 interface, but no other apps (AutoCAD was fine). F360 is such a weird app in general: it looks like neither a Windows app on Windows, nor a Mac app on the Mac. It actually reminds me of a bad SGI IRIX app from the 90s. Maybe if Autodesk would make true native apps we wouldn't have such weird problems with the interface and HiDPI, slow launch times and other sluggish operations, etc?
