Furthermore, it’s stated that this functionality is disabled by default because of continuous development and testing to make high-DPI in SSMS support better. The 16.3 (Version number: 0.28) update for SSMS includes initial beta support to allow high-DPI in SSMS to display appropriately on high-resolution monitors. So, the first thing I did was checking out SSMS changelog and previous releases to find any information regarding 4K resolution and high DPI support. However, one thing that was bugging me from the very beginning was the visual appearance of SSMS. It came with a Windows 10 operating system and its doing a decent job of managing the size of text, icons and other items on a majority of programs. To meet my work needs, I moved on to a modern Inspiron 15 Gaming machine with a 15.6-inch UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I recently switched my old Dell XPS laptop which served me very well the last 5 years. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is getting better and better with each new release but Microsoft seems to ignore one big issue affecting a group of users that grows rapidly as the technology moves forward and we move on to modern workstations and laptops.
