How to reset Spyder IDE GUI back to normal zoom?

Question

I work on laptop and connect it to monitors of different resolutions. Recently, I was working on a 32" monitor so spyder IDE enlarged all menus and tabs. Then after few days I connected to a 24" monitor and now spyder is unable to reset the GUI back to normal. Although text in editor is fine but all menus buttons are zoomed-in and scrambled as shown below

I have tried resetting the IDE using the methods mentioned here and on Anaconda's documentation but it did not help.

For example, reseting through the view menu as follow didnot help.

Using the command spyder --reset on anaconda prompt provided following output, but it didn't reset the GUI

(rmit37) C:\>spyder --reset

removing: C:\Users\e103851\.spyder-py3\plugins

I have also tried removing the C:\Users\e103851.spyder-py3 folder altogehter but of no use.

Now I am stuck with this crazy looking GUI. I have also tried removing spyder along with all its folders and reinstalling it but to my surprise it didn't solve the issue.

Is there any recent way to reset the spyder IDE back to normal zoom level?

Answer 1

I think I ran into a similar issue as well.

In Spyder, I resolved it by going to Tools > Preferences > Application > interface tab and in the Screen Resolution section, switching from "Enable auto high DPI scaling" to "Normal".
