    Background: I work a lot with a legacy application that does not support high res displays very well, it works best at 1920x1200. I access the VDI running that application via VPN + RDP at most customers. So I use a Win11 Parallels VM to connect the VPN and RDP to my VDI session, from which I RDP another time to my dev workstation runnign the app.

    In order to end up with a usable display at my end, I need the Win11 VM to use a resolution of 1920x1200@125DPI, and keep that resolution when I switch between Coherence, Full Screen or scaled windowed mode. I have yet to find the settings to enable this behaviour, at some point Parallels (Tools) always kick in and fiddle with the display resolution and/or DPI setting.

    Does anyone have this set up and working and could post the required settings, please?
