You misread what it tries to say. The first time it mentions 'archives'
it gives you the link showing 'R-help Archives' which goes to
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/
which are the official R-help archives (on that same server stat.ethz.ch
provided to the R community by the Math Dept. of ETH Zurich).
They work "fine" but don't have a nice 1-click search interface.
So you what has worked for ca 20 years
{{ but people probably
mostly have not learned anymore thanks to the universally "fool
proof" search interface
}}
still works fine: Use the site:<SITE> trick, i.e.,
where I found that adding "pipermail" is also somewhat important
to find more mailing list answers (than R help pages which are
also served from there).
E.g.,
site:stat.ethz.ch pipermail R windows GUI scaling
finds a lot (but maybe nothing relevant to your search), notably
with Google;
a bit less unfortunately with my usual search engine "Duck Duck
Go" (which is *not* keeping track as much as Google of everything I do )

Yes, unfortunately... Should probably remove that link from the
R-help info page; it has gone for several years now AFAIK.
