You're right, it shouldn't but something is causing it. There is nothing in the code that resizes or moves any of the controls. The program was designed to be fixed position & size from the start.

Check the other Windows scaling controls (Advanced scaling settings).

I've tried various scaling settings, and it doesn't help. It appears the controls inside the dialog windows are being drawn as fixed pixel dimension. The scaling settings only change the dimension of the window. So actually, if I set scaling to 200%, the dialog window becomes large enough to show all the controls within. But that's not an ideal solution, since 200% is almost unusable for everything else.
What has me stumped is that other PCs of similar specs do not exhibit this issue.

Hi,

You should be able to fix this without modifying/recompiling the application. You would need to use the manifest tool to embed an application manifest. You would need to set the dpiAware/dpiAwareness mode.

I have used this free tool on Windows 7 for years, https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/354/A-Utility-to-Clean-Up-Compiler-Temp-Files , it's useful.

I now want to use this utility to clean up compiler temp files on Windows 10, but after registered the DirClean.dll file, the two menu items do not show on the context menu. I check the source files, but I can't find what is wrong.

Thank you for help!

If you knew the extensions that you wanted to routinely delete (e.g., obj, tmp, pdb), you could simply add them to a BAT file something like:

del /s *.obj
del /s *.tmp
...

Put the BAT file in the parent folder of your work area and run it when needed. You could even create a scheduled task to do it automatically.

Thank you for the alternative method. I will try the BAT file.

Can anyone find the reason why the free tool failed to work on Windows 10? Thanks!

i wanna ask, can anyone suggest any good tutorials references for learning C from the beginning, especially for the latest C version (C17, afaik) ?

refs can be web, e-books, or anything

i tried google. found no tutorials for this.

C is a rather stable language, every standard doesn't add so many features like happens, for instance, with C++, so you may find (of the tons available) a good tutorial on a previous version (e.g. C99 or C11) and start learning. Then, in order to complete your knowledge, you may access the freely available 'final draft of the standard' (external link in the very wikipedia page: C17 (C standard revision) - Wikipedia[^].

but there's errors in old syntax if we use old tutorials

coz, there's tutorials using old syntax of C and that's not used in today's C's syntax anymore

e.g.: i have K&R book and their example is like:

C++

#include <stdio.h>

main () { //this syntax is not allowed anymore, afaik... it should be int main() instead
//...
}

that's why i'm looking more for tutor that suit with the latest C's syntax, which is C17

I didn't say it has not changed. It changed, but just a little. You haven't to go back to K&R. While probably there aren't yet many tutorials on the latest standard, there are many many available good ones for recent versions of it. That could be your fishing pond.

This is a "pre-introduction" series of 5 videos, to the Handmade Hero video series. HH is an ongoing series and may/may not be valuable to you, but the prelim is a good, fast intro that explains a bunch of concepts on Windows.
