Photoshop UI Scale too big

[fredih]

Hello,

I have had Photoshop for a long time on my XPS 15 now, and it was always working fine. Today I updated it to the newest version (mainly becasue of the Surface dial features), but ever since Photoshop has only been causing me frustration. The UI scale is way too big, even at 100%. I tried setting it to the System scaling as well, but it is still too big. Scaling the text down to 'Tiny' didn't help either. I'm really stuck with this, and I'd be grateful for any help with this, since I'm out of ideas as to how to fix this.

Which version of Photoshop?

Which operating system?

[fredih]

It's the newest version (19.1.1 20180206.r.254 2018/02/06: 1156206  x64)

And I'm on WIndows 10.

What is your display's resolution?

[fredih]

It's 1920x1080, but I have windows downscale ti from 4K, because other applications do not scale well.

When the current version of Photoshop 19.1.1 is used with the current version of Windows 10,  Photoshop takes it's user interface scaling from Windows 10 settings rather than Photoshop Preferences.

Go to Windows >Settings> System >Display >Scale and Layout and set the UI scale suitable for your screen size.

My Windows UI Scale is at 125%, because it's a 15" display, and I couldn't read anything if I scale it down. Is there a way to only scale down Photoshop?
