The text and the buttons on the remote layout are very small. I thought I read here that there was a way to make it larger on the screen but I can't find it in a search. Please advise

I finally was able to find directions for changing the resolution for CCP in Windows 11. It was posted by: gbrown91 in the "WARNING!!! New CCP Update requires dealer login!" thread.

Here are the instructions in case others need it:

goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Remote Control, Inc\Complete Control Program
- right click CCP.exe
- click compatibility tab
- check the box for: Override high DPI scaling behavior
- in the drop down for: Scaling Performed By, choose System.

I tried this on 2 different computers with Windows 11 and neither one of them has CCP.exe in the list of dropdowns

Not sure what you are saying. CCP.exe is not in the pulldown. It is just "System". CCP.exe is in the CCP program directory.

Or, because windows is not allowing you to see exe files and extensions. Use the Explorer View menu to check view extensions.

This procedure works great. Thanks OP for digging it up.

This also works for other programs that haven't been updated to work properly with high resolution displays.

Yeah, I got it to work. It not only makes the Complete Control Program bigger, it makes everything bigger.

Something isn't right. Are you sure you didn't change the resolution of your monitor in your attempt to make CCP bigger? The change I posted should ONLY affect CCP since it was part of CCP Windows settings.

That's what I thought. I'll do some more investigating.
I could only get it to work by going in the upper part of the box and going up from 125. When I click on the DPI box and pick System it doesn't want to stick. I hit apply and ok but nothing changes.
I'm not that computer savvy so it's probably something I'm doing.

I assume you had CCP closed when you followed the procedure above.

I think I got it to work. I expected it to increase by more than 5-10% is all. I could only tell the increase in size by not checking that DPI box and then checking the box again to compare the difference in size. Very insignificant.

Thank you hdtvluvr. I finally updated to Windows 11(nervously) and this worked perfectly for me.

Well, it should be significant. I'd say 200 - 300 %. Not sure what is going wrong with yours.

Thanks for sharing this tip on the scaling. I just set mine following your instructions and it's much better now! I could barely read it before.
