STLinkUpgrade utility text is too small to read

CTapp.1

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.

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!
