Use attached to reproduce. Case 1 - the initial scaling is not correct and the showing dilog1 results in a different DPI each time. Case 2 - the AllowTheming property disabled the scaling - see dialog 2. Workaround: this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Dpi; this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(96F, 96F); public class MyRadForm : RadForm { protected override void HandleDpiChanged() { if (TelerikHelper.IsWindows10CreatorsUpdateOrHigher) { return; } base.HandleDpiChanged(); } }
