MATLAB Changes Resolution after Startup

So I just started experiencing this problem.

About 15 seconds after startup, MATLAB decides to increase the resolution (which makes it look like everything is zoomed out and smaller). How can I get it to stop doing this and/or change the resolution? I like the way it was at the lower resolution.

Which OS are you on? Did you recently have a system update, perhaps a Java update?

[Isaac]

Windows 8.1

I keep up with updates regularly. I'm on Java version 7 update 51.

Today it did it after using MATLAB for about an hour. I don't know why it doesn't stay at the resolution it changes it to, but this is usually what it does.

What exactly is "everything", which changes its resolution?

[Isaac]

The entire IDE. All icons, fonts, buttons, etc. Everything. It's just like going to your desktop and changing from 1280x720 to 1920x1080.

After a few more occurrences of this problem, I'm noticing that a right-click triggers the change.

What version of MATLAB, and what OS are you running? Are you starting just MATLAB, or also Simulink?

[Isaac]

2013b and Windows 8.1. Just MATLAB.

Hello, I believe that the problem ins that Windows is scaling your text size in Matlab, and in other apps too.

If you right click in the desktop, and you open your exhibition settings, you should ajust the scaling to 100%, and that should solve the problem.

Does anyone have an answer to this?

I have the same problem. Win 8.1, matlab 2013b 64bit.

When ever I right-click while I am in .m editor, it changes resolution of only matlab (zoom out). It only happens if the script is saved! Not while I right-click in the New Script (unsaved).

Bizarre.

Same problem here.

I am running Matlab 2014a 64 bit on a Win 8.1 notebook. I do like the higher resolution when working only on the notebook but if I am plugged in to external monitors the resolution change, triggered by a right click leads to a very bad and blurry Matlab window.
