The following is my reference and has a good instruction set and includes the below for the registry key to use: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-fix-apps-that-look-small-on-high-dpi-and-high-resolution-displays/:- Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Navigate to the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySidehttp://winaero.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dpi3-600x279.png (http://winaero.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dpi3.png)
- Right-click, select NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value. Give it a name: PreferExternalManifest, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click PreferExternalManifest, and then click Modify. Enter Value Data 1. Click OK. Exit Registry Editor.
- Now restart Windows and run the app for which you added this manifest.

I did everything mentioned above:
-Created the manifest file and named it correctly -Pasted the XML code to the content of the manifest file -created the preferexternalmanifest in the regedit and modified to 1 -restarted my laptop Now when i run the program i get an error that says: "The program can't start because MSVCR90.dl is missing from your computer. Try reinstallin the program to fix this problem." Knowing that it was working(but with super small buttons) before doing all the above mentioned steps . Any help please ? Thank you - Altera_Forum

Thanks,
It worked. The diagram looks mach better. The only problem that remains - font size. Probably when creating a new project this drawback will disappear ? https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13217 - Altera_Forum

Probably when creating a new project this drawback will disappear ? --- Quote End --- Pavel, Glad it worked for you. I found that I had to add manifests for a few more items since the Quartus experience involves many sub-programs: C:\altera_lite\16.0\quartus\bin64\jre64\bin\java.exe (for some java-based renders) C:\altera_lite\16.0\quartus\bin64\jre64\bin\javaw.exe (for some java-based renders) C:\altera_lite\16.0\quartus\bin64\mega_ramq.exe (for the IP catalog wizard) C:\altera_lite\16.0\nios2eds\bin\eclipse-nios2.exe (for Eclipse) C:\altera_lite\16.0\quartus\bin64\quartus.exe (As a side note though, I recently rebuilt my computer and decided to not use manifests to give me more screen real estate. We'll see if I can tolerate the tiny icons) - VSilv2
