Maya UI too large on external monitor but normal size on main monitor

Hi! I'm setting up an external monitor and the Maya UI looks fine on my main monitor but it looks too large on the external monitor. If I change the scaling under "preferences / interface" to "do not scale" then the UI looks fine on the external monitor but too small on the main monitor.  I want to have the  the main maya window on the external monitor graph editor on the main monitor, so I'd like to know if there's a way to get the right scale for the UI on both monitors.

 

I've also tried the suggestions on this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-... and I haven't been able to fix it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Update on this issue: I was able to fix it by right clicking the maya icon on my desktop, going to properties -> compatibility tab and clicking on "change high DPI settings" and checking "override high DPI scaling behavior" and setting it to system. However, now Maya has a glitch: every time I click on a button that is supposed to show a drop-down menu the menu doesn't show up. I know this was caused when I changed the DPI scaling settings, because if I change it back to how it was before it doesn't have that glitch

So did you ever solve the issue to this glitch, because your solution solved my problem, but now the menus are glitching in scale and position.
