How to manage your notifications in Windows 10 | TechRepublic
I apologize if this has been asked before. I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find anything that was dealing with the same issue. I'm hoping my problem is caused by some simple setting that I just need to change, and that someone can just direct me to wherever that setting is.
I've been using MBAM for years without any real issues but, starting just this morning, the notification window somehow became way too big. And I can't seem to figure out how to change it back. As you can see from the screenshot, it's taking up almost a quarter of screen. And it's font size doesn't match my system font size, which is the font size seen on the taskbar.
In trying to troubleshoot this, I did find one other post where someone mentioned that their system scaling and DPI settings were causing the MBAM application window to be too big or too small, but I'm not sure that's the same issue that I'm having because my MBAM app is still using the same font size as my system.
I'm not sure if the cause is something I changed, or some kind of recent update, or something else altogether. I realize that it's not a major issue, it's just kind of a mild annoyance.
Regardless, I would be grateful for any advice that anyone has. If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:.

I'm sorry that my reply then ended up taking me so long I'm kind of in the middle of a family reunion this week, and I got a little side tracked. I took a look at your logs and while this may not be related, it would be a good idea not to have explorer. Once the change is made, restart your system and test to see if notifications and other text display acceptably now.
You mentioned that having explorer. I specifically changed explorer to run as an administrator as a workaround for the flaw in Windows 10 that sometimes doesn't allow drag-and-drop to work between explorer and an application when one has administrator rights and the other doesn't.
I realize that it has the potential to cause other problems as well as potentially make my system less secure. But, to me, the hassle that it fixes is worth the possibility of those other issues. So, unless you think that it is actually contributing to this particular problem, I'd rather not have to change that one back.
As for the DPI settings. I followed your instructions to set custom DPI settings for mbamtray. Even after restarting my computer the notification size is still too large. I also experimented with applying those settings to the other. But, no luck. Do you happen to know if this issue is related to a recent update or something like that? Am I the only person that is experiencing this problem?
The only reason I ask is because It worked flawlessly up until a few days ago; and I haven't installed anything or changed any settings in MBAM or my system during that time. If this is something caused by an update, and something that the MBAM team is aware of, then I'm happy to wait until they release a patch. If not, and if I'm the only one who is having this issue, then I guess the next thing for me to try is to completely remove and reinstall MBAM. And see if that takes care of it.
The trouble with running explorer as admin is that it passes its permissions on to every process launched by it. This means that every time you run a program by clicking a shortcut or double-clicking an executable, it automatically runs with administrative privileges.
This includes your internet browsers and other web facing apps. There are two major issues with that. First, the vast majority of software has been designed to function with User Account Control UAC active since Windows Vista, meaning it was designed generally not to run with administrative privileges, so compatibility issues and anomalous behavior may occur.
Second, which you already touched on, is the massive security hole it creates, not only for explorer. As for Malwarebytes, I'm really not sure but so far I've seen no other reports of this issue that I can recall, so it is possible that this or some other setting in your system is affecting it. I doubt a clean install would fix it, though the recently released beta might.
After uninstalling MBAM and then re-installing and installing the beta and performing a reboot it seems like the issue is gone. Great, I'm glad to hear it. Nope, as long as it's working you're all set. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account? Sign in here.

Up until this morning, the font for MBAM notifications was the same size. Like the example in the first screenshot, It's just the notification window that is too big. Is this something that other people have encountered? If so, how did you go about fixing it?
