This article provides a workaround for the issue where Dreamweaver CC 2017 does not display correctly on Windows Hi-DPI machines.

Display issues on Hi-DPI machines

If you are using Dreamweaver CC 2017 on a Windows Hi-DPI machine, and have increased the text size beyond 100%, then some panels in Dreamweaver do not display correctly.

For example, the Preferences (Edit > Preferences) panel does not load any content. Other panels can also appear truncated.

Workaround on Windows 7

In the Windows Display settings, set the font size to 100%. Close Dreamweaver CC 2017 and launch it again.

  1. Navigate to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display.

  2. In the Display window that appears, choose the Smaller (100%) default option.
