Did Intel remove the scaling bugfix feature from Windows 10 drivers?

And by the why did Intel remove the scaling bugfix feature from Windows 10 drivers?

Windows 7= http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150718/v8gzgwpe.png http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150718/v8gzgwpe.png

Windows 10= http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150718/g8eqwwbd.png http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150718/g8eqwwbd.png

Scaling support in control panel has been changed to improve user experience. Previously, the set of scaling options available to the user was tied to the currently selected resolution and any change to the resolution caused the user selected scaling option to be lost. In the new implementation, the user selected scaling option is orthogonal to the current resolution and expresses the user's preference/intent for scaling behavior, regardless of the current resolution. The driver will remember this scaling preference and apply it for future display mode sets performed either in the graphics control panel OR via OS control panel.

-->This has been removed. A shame.

Hi Yups,

I received some more information about this. Please see my report below.

What: In Win10, CUI scaling options are shown based on the current resolution. The UX (user experience) improvement previously implemented in Win7/8/8.1 to show all the scaling options independent of the current resolution is not yet complete for Win10.

Why: Win10 has different ways to implement this feature than previous OS and we are currently working with MSFT to mitigate user experience issues or broken functionality. This includes investigation into requirements and discussions on improvements.

When: This is a complex task with top priority, work is in progress. Honestly, I know it will not be enabled by OS launch, though the development team is targeting my next status update for July 31st.

Hi Yups,

I'm speaking with Development. I'll circle back when I get an answer, thanks.
