Recent laptop update changed my macros!

[joe]

NEVER MIND, I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.

I just updated my laptop and then I discovered that my macros have now changed!
I have only discovered one change to my macro so far, it was the coordinates for a mouse click.
It was an easy fix, but it was fix that I wasn't expecting to have to make. 

The original macro code was: 

4 | RUN ACTION | MOUSE CLICK | Left click at 1450 50 1 times with 0 ms delay


But then after the updates my macro code was changed to:


4 | RUN ACTION | MOUSE CLICK | Left click at 1772 50 1 times with 0 ms delay

The original coordinates were changed to coordinates that are not even on my screen!
Has this happened to anyone in the past?

My google chrome browser zoom size is set to 100%, but it looks like my scale settings in my computer settings looks like it was changed to 125%.

Can someone please tell me what I should reset my computer settings to?

These recent updates changed the settings on my computer and it changed the way my desktop icons look which is kind of understandable. The updates also altered macros that I created, which are basically documents. I'm rambling at this point, I'm sorry.

What was it, it could help someone else! Different screen resolution?

Hey philranger, The computer updates changed the size and position of everything and the screen resolution size. After I changed the screen resolution back to 100% the desktop icons and the folder icons were still in a different size and in a different spot. Also, I had several pixel color/if then else statements that didn't work post computer updates.

Congrats for figuring it out, and thanks for sharing!

by the way...

I had a different but similar problem that I used this exe for:

13 | RUN ACTION | RUN VIA CMD /C | c:\tools\cmdow "My program name" /siz 550 856 /mov 500 0


The command resizes the application window and moves it to a particular location on the screen (to a known tested size and position on the screen).

The EXE can be found here as well as good docs in the app's help :

ritchielawrence.github.io/cmdow/

you can run cmdow.exe "Program Name" /p to see where your program is located on the screen 

Output:
Handle Lev Pid -Window status- Left Top Width Height Image Caption

0x11B03C4 1 26520 Res Ina Ena Vis 500 0 550 856 WsaClien Program N

Notice that the /siz and /mov correspond to the values I have in the RUN ACTION above

And yes, I had to change the Zoom Level to 100% on a 2nd PC I was testing with also...  

Right Click on Desktop (W11) -> Screen Settings -> Scale And Layout -> Scale = 100% (not 125%)

the setting may look a tiny bit different in W10 but you get there the same way
