I've just done a clean install of Windows but have noticed Resolve keeps changing the user interface resolution whenever I turn my monitor off and on again and I've never had this problem in all the years I've been using Resolve.
If I leave Resolve open, when I turn my monitor back on, the interface looks bigger with a lower resolution and this only happens with resolve - all other programs stay the same.
I run 7680x2160 with 125% scaling in Windows but in Resolve UI Display Scale settings, Its set to 'Auto'. The only other options I see are 100% / 150% and if I select of either of these, 100% is to small and 150% is to big.
Anyone know why the resolution keeps changes just by turning my monitor on/off?

What if instead of turning the display off, you just use a screen saver? It's not really a lot of power, and (assuming you're using an LCD screen) it shouldn't put out a lot of heat.

Don't do that unless the computer itself is off.

Does monitor you use come with some special drivers, utility or setting for that to happen? Or how is set up in GPU settings panel or windows. Any kind of gaming mode or something that could be turned on? I would check all that and see if there is anything there.

Its a 57" Samsung Neo G9 monitor so leaving it on does use a good amount of power.

I've also noticed other programs are getting moved around with some getting shifted to the top left and other programs dropping off the bottom of the screen slightly.
Its weird as this never used to happen until I had to re-install Windows last week - and even another re-install hasn't fixed it.

At least not with a PC.
( I do it all the time for long renders.)
