Netgear Genie 2.4.26 Huge Window Size Windows 10
I just updated to Genie 2.4.26 and now the windows for it us huge (i.e. the window is larger then my desktop). Even the menu when you right click on the icon in the bottom right corner section is larger than the normal.
Is this a known issue, or something got haywire with my Genie installation?
Thanks.

Hi @hyperlance,
Please make sure the option to run the program in 640x480 screen resolution is not checked. You can check that that by right clicking on the desktop icon > Properties > Compatibility tab > Uncheck Run program in 640x480 screen resolution > Apply > OK. Then restart the application.

Hi @hyperlance,
Please try checking the option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

Someone at Netgear is definitely over compensating for a lack of something. That is one big app window.

I have feeling that the PC version was updated with a mobile version.

Having same issue. Have tried both solutions below, as well as utilizing the "Troubleshoot Compatability" Win10 function. Have Uninstalled- reinstalled several times. Have there been any updates to this issue?

I am running Windows 8.1 and was having the same issue. I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR Genie\bin and opened the Compatibility settings for NETGEARGenie.exe and told it to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7. That seems to have resolved the issue.

I just updated the Netgear genie and I'm also having that issue with the large GUI. None of the suggestions worked as well, lets hope that the developers are near a solution.

Hi @OnTheRoqs and @McKie,
Have you tried running the program in compatibility mode for Vista?

Re: Netgear Genie 2.4.26 Huge Window Size Windows 10
I have the same issue and I have tried all of the potential solutions suggest by one and all. I still get the huge sized window. Unfortunately my 90 days for customer support has run out and I do not want to pay their high fees to fix a software issue. Maybe we should all unite and complain to Netgear and ahave them solve the issue plus send us an email as to when we can see it fixed in a future update ASAP.
Maybe they even read the community forums but I am not holding my breath since there are so many people having this issue and we have seen no solution to date.
