How to adjust display's resolution settings downward in OS? And what is OS?

CS6 is legacy software from 2012.  It was never Hi-dpi aware.  And it never will be because Adobe stopped supporting Creative Suite when Creative Cloud was released in 2013.   The best you can do is dial back your display settings to a lower screen resolution that's better for your eyes.  See  the correct answer to this related discussion below.

I have branched this to a new discussion because the other one is 2 years out of date.

  • Which version of DW do you have?
  • Which operating system do you have?

    OS = operating system. 

    Change screen resolution on Windows 7 or 10.

    Thank you, Nancy. On the first link you gave me, the explanation is off because there is no option Adjust screen resolution under under Appearance and Personalization in Control Panel. Here is the screenshot:

     

    On the other link you gave, the site wanted me to accept something about privacy, which I didn't want to accept for now.

    I don't know if screen resolution and display resolution is the same or not, but my display resolution is on 125% and 1920 x 1080 as recommended.

    Please advise what to do about it.

    In the meantime I did Windows High DPI Fix as explanied here:

    https://danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

    However, this only scaled the fonts, which kind of works for the fonts in the Menus, but it is blurry and hard on my eyes when I work with DW's html files.

    So my question is, even if I find in the Control Panel the ption Adjust screen resolution with your help, what exactly shall I do there and would that do the same - just scale it so that it is blurry, or would that fix it?

     

    I just can't believe that Adobe is so bad, that it puts us through so much troubles in order to use their expensive software!!! I wasted so much time in finding a solution and still haven't find one and still can't use DW for too long because it is hard on my eyes.
