Avast Graphic Interface Messed up with new Update

[crosstalk]

...

Display: 42" UHD OLED 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz

...

BTW: my 'recommended' scaling is 300% lol.

We are running the same resolution but your monitor is much bigger (and OLED!) I need the scaling for text to be readable.

Great job reproducing and documenting! I hope (and assume) the Avast devs monitor this forum, and will take care of it

... really needs to be addressed by Avast, in these days of large screen and or very high resolutions.

One hundred percent agreed. Thanks for the help!

Yeah I understand why you would. I opted to brute force it haha.

I have my doubts if they actually look at it, until they get prodded to do so. It seems to be a long standing issue. I hope for your sake they one day decide to care enough to fix it. In the years I've been using Avast I've seen numerous issues come and go, only to regress back into a new release. So honestly all I can do is steer them in the right direction by doing some of the work for them, and wishing you good luck.

I have tried to attract some Avast input in this topic.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks a lot for reporting this scaling issue. Our team is already looking into it, and we’ll work to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Looks like you succeeded, well done all!

This sounds like good news. However as I understand it, it is an issue that has come and gone before. Let's hope a more permanent fix can be implemented. High res displays, and thus scaling, are becoming more common by the day.

I can 100% confirm, some Avast updates messed up the UI for me, while the next update would fix it.

Version 24.9 just dropped.

I did a quick test and so far it seems to scale the Avast UI properly!

It will be interesting to see if this works for the OP's Large Screen Very High resolution monitor.

The size of the screen is not relevant, just the resolution. If it's fixed on my 42" UHD it should in theory be fixed on his 27" UHD. For now anyway.

It's fixed, and yes for now, let's hope this time around is permanent. Thank you guys for sticking around till it got fixed.

It seems unlikely the fix was in response to this topic. It must've already been a part of the 24.9 update.

If they indeed implemented a last minute fix before rollout, kudos are (is) in order.

I'm sure we'll hear from you if it breaks again.

I'm not entirely sure about that there are some very small monitors/laptops with very high resolutions Ultra HD+, unfortunately I haven't got one to test.

Many HP XPS Ultra HD+ laptops in this range:
16.3-in. touch display Ultra HD+ (3840X2400) OLED
13.4-in. display Ultra HD+ (3840X2400)
