Hi everybody,
I need your help for a change . Since the upgrade to Windows 8.1 I have a very strange issue with the Windows Powershell (and only withg the Powershell). I occurs both on my Surface Pro 2 as well as on my desktop computer.
General information:
On my Surface Pro 2 the screensize option is set to 150% (standard on the Surface Pro 2).
On my desktop computer I've set the screensize option to 125% (my eyes are very bad ).
The case:
When I open Windows Powershell (normal and admin) it opens and looks normal for about a second or two. Then the screen shrinks to a very small and unreadable size. See the screendump ==>
The tryouts:
First I ran the SFC/ Scannow and DISM commands. They came out clean. On my desktop I also did a complete full new installation (was needed anyway ). This didn't help though.
What did "help" was setting the screensize option to 100%. That way the Powershell window doesn't shrink.
Conclusion:
It looks like the Powershell cannot cope with the screensize option being anything else then 100%. The funny thing is though that under Windows 8.0 this problem does not occur.
My question:
Is anyone of you having this same problem? Do you perhaps have a sollution? Or is this a bug in Windows 8.1 that Microsoft needs to fix?
Any help and suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks in advance,
Rover
