4k screen scaling has gone madly small

I updated to Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 this morning. (Windows 10)

I have a 4K laptop and suddenly all the Photoshop menus, icons and buttons have shrunk to a tiny unreadable size.  (All my other windows applications are fine)

It's like it's become suddenly unaware of the Windows 10 scaling settings.  It used to be OK but now it looks like how very old applications look when I run them on a 4k screen.


Can I change a setting somewhere in PS?  Is this a new bug?

Help! I can't see my photoshop menus properly!

    Do you have UI scaling set to Auto?  If yes, set to 200%  If it is already set to 200%, then there might be a problem, but yours is the first post I have seen about it since 2017.1.1

    "Auto" will default to 200% scaling on 4K monitors.

    Windows Creator build is supposed to help applications that do not scale properly.

    have not tried it yet.

    Been my biggest beef about PS the UI scaling just sucks.
