The font size used for the GUI in the STLinkUpgrade utility so small it is virtually unreadable on the external 32" 4K monitor that I use with my laptop. The following shows the text size relative to code within the IDE:
It's possible that this is as a result of using a 4K screen, as it looks ok when running on the laptop screen:
The size stays as above if I then close the lid, even though the external screen then switches back to 4K.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It looks like setting the following properties on java.exe in STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.jre...\jre\bin helps:
Though the UI text is a lot fuzzier than the window title (the difference doesn't show that well in the above).
Still, I can now see what I'm doing ;)

Which operating system are you using?
At least with Windows, this is not necessarily a problem with the application, but actually with Windows, which unfortunately has to be explicitly taught to use HR mode for every application.

This is Windows. How do I "teach it" what resolution to use? I don't recall it being a problem (with this application) in the past - though the "Start menu" is sometimes sharp and sometimes fuzzy (as if a low-resolution version has been upscaled badly).
I'm used to working with MacOS, so I've not run into this before!
