How to disable automatic zoom change in IE11 when moving window between different monitors?

On Windows 8.1 I use Internet Explorer 11 and I also got my notebook with 13" screen and LCD monitor with 24" screen.



When I move IE windows between screens, IE automatically changes the zoom "to preserve same font size" on screens with different DPI. This is unwanted, I don't want to have 100% on one screen and 125% on the other. Is there a way how to disable this, even using registry fix?



Note this is already reported on Microsoft Connect with no proper answer.

  • Do you know if this affects browser apps like SAP, which is somewhat notorious for only working at 100% zoom?

Found this online and works on my IE11:



Set the following registry keys:



HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerZoom



ZoomDisabled [DWORD] = 1



ZoomFactor [DWORD] = 186a0 (this resets the zoom to 100%)

  • This doesn't seem to work (IE 11, Windows 8.1, high DPI screen). It just disables the manual zoom changes, the automatic zooming is still in effect.
