Hi Jantlotus,
The program has not been updated to be DPI-aware yet. However there is a workaround provided on another thread that may work. The steps are indicated below.
1. Exited Netgear Genie (by rightclicking the tray icon and choosing exit)
2. Went to my "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Appdata\Local\NETGEARGenie\" folder
2. Opened the config.ini file in this folder with Notepad
3. Changed the third line so that it reads:
screen_resolution=1920*1080
4. Saved and closed the file.
5. Right-clicked the config.ini file, opened the properties and made it read-only
6. Opened Genie and it's looking normal!
The link is indicated below.

Hi Byren,
Have you tried adjusting the compatibility settings? You can right click on the app icon then select Properties > Compatibility > check Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

The Netgear problem hit me tonight right after I ran the update. I'm running a 3 24" monitor display at 5760x1080 resolution and my NetGear window is so large it occupies half my real estate horizontally and vertically a full 1/3 of the app window is off screen. I've tried every option in the compatability options to no effect. Help?
