There have been multiple posts by multiple people on plugins not sizing correctly, images not being redrawn - my own experiences with mixcraft controllers and VST controls not being redrawn, resizing plugins not working etc.
While the concept of scaling the display in MC 10 is admirable, my experience with loading old projects or trying different plugins and constantly having messed around with the Windows display settings to scale to 100% so I can use Mixcraft and checking and unchecking the DPI controls in Mixcrafts preferences has definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
Just now, I tried loading an old project from MC 9 into MC10.5 with the goal of testing Bias FX on the old guitar tracks. First - the old guitar sim controls would NOT redraw when I tried switching things. The actual values were changing (not visible though without a refresh) so that was the first problem. Next I added Bias as an effect. Below you can see the screen for the effect is cutoff and it can't be resized. To get it to work, I have to go into preferences and disable Per Monitor DPI Awareness or change some other setting and then restart Mixcraft.

I've reached a saturation point where it just isn't fun to use MC 10 because one set of settings for one plugin, messes things up for another. I tried the same thing in MC 9 and it all just worked without tweaking settings in Windows or MC.
Please change the DPI awareness programming or add a single option to ignore it entirely on Windows 10 and above like it does for windows 7.
