  • Remastered the entire script(s)!
  • Added two new binary files: one for centered mode; one for GDI scaling (GDI only has fullscreen available)
  • Added confirmation dialog for more security (it warns the user to save all important work before proceeding)
  • Added SplashScreen GIF image to show the user the script is still running and they should wait
  • Added silent mode: use parameter "/quiet" (it bypasses the confirmation dialog as like as the SplashScreen)
  • Added support for computers where VBScript is uninstalled/disabled (yes, Windows 11 is fully supported by now)
  • Added better handling of window size and position
  • Added handling for Sticky Notes so that remain interactive and not blurry after GPU restart
  • Added support for additional NVIDIA graphic cards now (all should be convered at this state)
  • Updated DesktopOK for saving desktop icon positions
  • Fixed issues with AMD Adrenalin GUI edition getting stuck after the operation
  • Fixed double registry entries in VBS script
  • Fixed an issue with NVIDIA scaling setting had been resulted in wrong results on some computers
  • Optimized order of arrangements before/after restarting the GPU (really important for avoiding issues)

Please be aware this all procedure operates at low-level afterall!

Do not expect it to run as smoothly as it is when you configure the CPU with the manufacturers tool.
It may be that Firefox/Chrome needs to be restarted after it if they become unresponsive, but don't worry - you can easily load the last session then. Thats no issue coming with this version but was present before - I only want to mention it again.

My recommendation:

  • Use "Scaling by GPU - Aspect-Ratio" whenever you operate on your physical computer that has a GPU (home users, players and PCs with 3D rendering software)
  • Use "Scaling by Display(s) - Fullscreen" if you operate in virtual machine (Vmware/VirtualBox/...) or via remote control like KVM-Switch/TeamViewer or something like that

  • Added workaround for Startmenu-Freeze in Windows 10 after using CRU:
    explorer.exe will be restarted automatically by "Rexplorer" from https://www.sordum.org/9192/restart-explorer-v1-5/ but only in OS with Windows 10 or higher (any running copy-progress-window will be closed but copy process itself continue in background), BTW: all open folders & system control windows will be restored after that
  • Improved support for Intel graphic cards:
    Custom registry entries from Intel will get erased, so Intel has to update its status from rhw key path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration?????\00\00" dword-value "Scaling" / before my version 1.2 Intel kept this custom keys and wasn't interested in adapt new settings from key named above

  • Able to work with newer Nvidia graphic cards
  • Fixed failure when Registry paths of graphic manufacturer settings keys are aren't allowed to get altered by administrators in Windows 8/8.1/10 - even if locked by TrustedInstaller (now will be unlocked for administrator group and not undone since there is no security leak and the entries aren't even from microsoft in the first place)
  • Clarification of alleged declaration as malicious code by McAfee (files are rated as trusty now on VirusTotal)
  • Fixed minor bugs
