I was fighting with mouse sensitivity issues for over 7 months before thanks to the development of DPI scaling in Windows 10. It actually reached the point where I just somehow landed between me being insane and something must be wrong and accepted it. But when it fixed itself suddenly from a fix that didnt fix it several months earlier I knew I wasnt insane since suddenly I got reminded how it is supposed to be and recognized it instantly. Ironicly the time that had passed required me to get used to the new-old correct setting again. I still dont know exactly today what caused it, but I do know its related to Windows 10 and the way it scales things. But I could raise ingame settings with around 20% again and still feel it wasnt enough. It seem to be more common with a high dpi monitor with 1440p or higher resolutions. But the issue can be anything from your previous Windows doing some dumb assumption from your previous monitor driver (even if just a basic one provided by windows) and doesnt with your "new" to that they simply have "fixed" something that comes in one of the updates after your fresh install anyway. If I havent understood it completely wrong Microsoft provides updates to each version so installing 1607 with any update can still give "fixes" that didnt appear until later, because as long as you can update any version it is considered as an old version but supported just as Windows XP, 7 and so on was/is. Its just shorter time its supported. (1607 ended its support 10th april 2018 or something). No matter what you do with your scaling settings it seem (based on all the various issue threads out there) that your settings can all look fine, such as 100% scaling and so on while things that are just impossible for us consumers to find can be what causes it and many dont encounter this problem and its hard to find relevant info about it since 99% of what you find will be answered by people that thinks its just a "normal" problem that could get fixed with "have you unchecked enhanced pointer precision?" or questions like "is your windows setting on 6/11" when the problem is way more deeper than that and can make you question your sanity since its so hard to pin point or find spot on threads with similar issues. Another thing that adds to the problem is all the different overlays that exist. Override DPI scaling for .exe's a couple months ago could be completely irrelevant as soon as any overlay (NVIDIA, Discord, Steam for example) was active. Or sometimes when you had minimized once to desktop and no matter what you did after it was just a mess. You had to figure out the .exe for those too and override dpi scaling. But even if you did that, the mouse behaved different in the NVIDIA overlay but of course sometimes it didnt. Just a big mess. I dont have any solution to your problem, but I hope you got some clues or new ideas on how to find your issue. You should try do your test in the restore environment (shift+select restart) since any scaling or OS related things should be deactivated there but double check that on google since Im not 100% if you enter the restore environment completely just with that. And about the Xbox game bar, game mode etc. Apparently its not as easy as just uninstall through powershell and the single reg fix anymore. Try save this as .bat and run it (at your own risk) to completely remove Xbox, DVR and turn off game mode. @echo off goto check_Permissions :check_Permissions echo Administrative permissions required.
