You can try this: <br />
<br />
Open run<br />
Type mstsc.exe /h:1080 /w:1920
</div>


<div>
Is it the same thing as I did. I used the GUI to set it to that resolution and I told you what happened
</div>


<div>
You could try and change the resolution of your laptop to the same resolution as your pc (temporary)?
</div>


<div>
No, That is a bad suggestion, I want a permanent solution. <br />
<br />
I have temporary solutions. <br />
<br />
<br />
I should click the RDP shortcut and everything should work at the right resolution.
</div>


<div>
Another possible solution can be found <a href="http://forums.windowscentral.com/microsoft-surface-book/406830-remote-desktop-scaling-how-fix.html" rel="ugc">here</a>
</div>


<div>
I have yet to try this, but to give a different suggestion, maybe an alternative RDP client will work better for you....<br />

<div>
When you open RDP click on Show Options in the lower left hand corner. &nbsp;Go to the Display tab and change your settings here. &nbsp;Go back to the General tab and Save your change. &nbsp;You cannot do this when you are logged into a RDP session. &nbsp;You have to make the change before you log in. &nbsp;I hope this helps.

<br />
that's where the normal settings are, if that would work I wouldn't ask the question.
</div>


<div>
Have you tried with an alternative RDP client? Also, what version of Windows is on your laptop?
</div>


<div>
Yes I did. same result. <br />
<br />
Laptop is windows 10 (lenovo yoga 900) 3200 x 1800<br />
<br />
connecting to a desktop windows 7 resolution 1080 x 1920
</div>


<div>
I have to scroll down and up all the time.
</div>


<div>
That worked. <br />
<br />
Only on a certain resolution which is pretty big, but usable in this case.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

When I connect from my laptop to my PC via RDP , the resolution &nbsp;is really small (icon and text).<br />
<br />
My resolution &nbsp;on the PC is 1080 x 1920 and on the laptop is I think 3000x2000 something like that.<br />
<br />
The settings on RDP is full screen, if I change it to smaller the RDC will open in a small window on the side. <br />
<br />
How can I make it much bigger?

RDP resolution

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
