Streaming from PC messed up my desktop - eviltoast

I finally got my Steamdeck to stream from my PC effectively and part of that was having streaming set my desktop’s resolution to match the steam deck.

However, when I do this it completely messes up my desktop. It could have just been with RE7 but coming out of the game, my desktop had apps scaled way large and some were off screen and I didn’t have a way to get them back onto my screen (I had to finance docking apps together in windows 11 to get them back on screen). One app (perforce) was completely fucked with the UI being all scaled up permanently until it somehow got out of that state.

This same thing happened prior to a fresh install of windows so I am wondering what is causing it. My setup:

  • Main monitor is ultra wide at 1440p.
  • Second monitor is 16:9 at 1440p.
  • Windows 11 has desktop DPI scaling set to 125% for both monitors.
