Movie Studio 17.0 Platinum Build 204 displays small font size

I've got an odd problem. My Win 10 system has dual monitors, both set to 3840x2160 resolution with 200% scale in Extend mode.

When I installed Movie Studio 17.0 Platinum the font size was just the right size. However, the other day when I opened the application the font size was very small for the timeline and file names. Yesterday I opened the application and the font size was back to normal. Today I turned on my PC and opened the application and the font size has gone back to being very small. During this timeframe there have been no Win10 updates applied and the display settings have not been changed. I guess that this must be some kind of obscure bug.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior - if so, do you know how to fix it?

UPDATE: I've just rebooted my PC and the font size has gone back to normal. Very strange!

Cheers

Andrew

I think I might have sorted this problem......

Right click MovieStudioPlatinum17 icon
Select Compatibility
Select Change High DPI settings
Program DIP - tick use this setting....
Open Advanced scaling settings
Enter 200 in custom scaling

Since making this change I have not experienced the application randomly reverting back to small font size. I hope this helps others
