Lightroom Classic 7.3.1: Windows 10 Pointer Size Too Small on 4K Screen

[ScottBRosenthal]

Using a 4K laptop screen and the mouse pointer in Loupe and Develop is too tiny to be useful while it's on top of the photo. Moving the pointer to a panel returns the pointer to its proper size.

I came looking to see how to fix this issue - but it looks like it is still a known bug without a fix?
I'm in LR Classic CC (8.4.1). UHD monitor.

At this time, I am not aware of any viable workaround.

Any workaround until it's fixed? It's a real annoyance for older eyes.

I was able to duplicate what you were seeing here on a similar machine. I am logging it as a bug as the behavior is inconsistent between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC.  Thanks for reporting it.

The same effect happens at 200%, i.e., the icon size reduces when the pointer moves over the image. No improvement.

If you go to Windows Settings and search for Change Display Settings. Under Scale and Layout, if you choose 200%, do the icons appear sized appropriately.

Scott,

Can you share a screen shot showing the cursor at its two sizes?

Also, share the video driver version of your laptop's video card. 

Thank you!

When is this bug scheduled to be fixed? You would think that with continuous updates with the subscription plan, a simple ankle-biter such as this would have been fixed in under a year. My point is that I'm not looking to report problems, but to get solutions to found issues.

Thanks. Let me have the team take a look.

I found a partial solution to this problem here:  https://danantonielli.com/app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix-2019/.  The solution exactly as described did not work for me.  I had to modify the last step, step 6, to select “Application” from the drop-down rather than “System (enhanced)”.  I suggest you try all the options if the recommended one does not work.

The solution is partial in that it made the cursor over the picture larger, but it also made the pull-up/down arrows that display the “Library Develop…” menu and the loupe very small; however, I find the very small pull-up/down arrows more tolerable than the tiny cursor over the picture.
