title: How do I fix DPI scaling issues for Visual Studio 2017 Windows Forms
body: <p>I've been encountering this issue ever since I bought this laptop with 4k display in 2015. With a lot of effort I managed to work around the issue but I'm growing tired of it. 
  VS2017 is supposedly DPI aware hence I do not expect any issues when creating a simple MDI Parent Form and running the app. But to my frustration the icons in the toolStrip (just the standard one in the MDI parent form) are scaled horribly. 
  When I create a form with a button on it which looks just fine in Visual Studio 2017 designer and I run the app and load the form, the button text isn't completely shown.
  My display settings are as follows:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Resolution: 3840x2160</li>
  <li>Scaled 250% (in display settings) because at 100% everything is unreadable</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I've tried to find solutions, but the only workable thing I could find was setting my visual studio designer to dpi-unaware via registry (link <a href="http://www.visualstudioextensibility.com/2017/01/13/running-visual-studio-or-setups-with-dpi-virtualization-dpi-unaware-on-high-dpi-displays/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Help anyone?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong> When I add a new MDI form with the setting of DPI-awareness OFF, everything looks OK except Visual Studio itself (blurry).</p>
