SAMSUNG Magician 9.0.0 - Display Scale Bug (again and again)

Samsung, you have once again reintroduced the display-scaling problem in the Samsung Magician app. It really looks like multiple different people are working on this software with poor communication between teams, because every time the issue gets fixed, it returns in the next release.

Examples:

  • 8.0 – Display Scale Bug

  • 8.2 – Display Scale Bug (reported by me HERE)

  • 8.3 – Display Scale Bug Fixed

  • 9.0 – Display Scale Bug (again)

Symptoms:

On a PC with a 4K display (3840×2160) and Windows display scaling set to 100%, Samsung Magician launches with an internal scaling of 175%. When I manually change it to 100%, it works correctly — but only until the next restart. After launching again, it goes back to 175% every time. From my observations, this problem does not occur on screens with 2K resolution.

PLEASE FIX THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Same issue.

I have now gone back version 8.3 due to installation issues, hanging, and lock ups. Version 9.0 is a buggy mess that should not have made it out of alpha.

In my opinion, the Auto scaling option should be set to the value set in Windows (System -> Display -> Scale).
I have it set to 100% there, but in the program, Auto is 175% - what nonsense.

i have this bug too, 8.2 worked fine, since 8.3 build it always resets to auto after next run, with 2K monitor auto is always 125%, when i put 100% doesn't save like 8.2 old build, always resets to auto
