I have a Dell Precision 7720 laptop with the same issue. In Windows 10, you can adjust the scaling behavior for individual apps. Right-click on the shortcut for the app, select the “Compatibility” tab, and then click “Change high DPI settings” and switch between “System” and “Application”. See the screenshot below. I’m still running NB 8.2, and this is how I deal with the scaling issue when I travel and am using the laptop display instead of external monitors. See the screenshot below.

Windows defaults to 250% scaling to make text and icons readable at this resolution. However, Netbeans project/source views don't seem to detect/honor the scaling settings and it is literally unreadable except with a magnifying glass. The tool bar seems to honor the system scaling/font settings. I can also change the editor text size but it does nothing for the project/Files/Services view nor the output/debug windows. Enabling "Maximize use of native look and feel" didn't help. Is there another setting I'm missing or do I just need to change the resolution? Thanks!
