High-DPI problems in console after 13.1 upgrade

[ender]

I upgraded my home server from 13.0 to 13.1.1.18, and the console seems to be quite a bit more broken in high-DPI mode than in 13.0: Statistics pane for backup doesn't show at all, and all menus open at the top-left of the screen (outside of the window if it's not maximised). The console does warn that it should be run at 100% DPI when started, but considering that my screen is high-DPI, that makes all of the text unusably small.

There is a workaround though – set the DPI compatibility mode for veeam.backup.shell.exe to System, which makes the console work fine (albeit a bit blurry), making me wonder why is it marked as dpiAware at all?

Hello,

The main console window still uses a custom UI component that does not scale correctly at anything other than 100% DPI. That is what the startup warning is about. Forcing System DPI mode for veeam.backup.shell.exe is fine to keep as a workaround for the main window.

A missing Statistics pane and menus opening at the top-left corner are not part of those known scaling issues, so please open a support case so we can discuss that with the UI team.

Longer term, development focus is on the Web UI. The Web UI scales with the browser like any web page, which makes it the better fit for a high-DPI screen.

I'm using Community version in my home lab, so web UI doesn't work.

Anyway, the (current) problem with high-DPI displays would go away without needing compatibility options if veeam.backup.shell.exe's manifest didn't include <dpiAware> and <dpiAwareness> elements (or if they were set to false and unaware).
