> As of April 5th 2017 with the release of Windows 10 Version 1703, SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext used above is the replacement for SetProcessDpiAwareness, which in turn was a replacement for SetProcessDPIAware. Love the clear naming scheme.

This is the kind of thing I hate about "New Windows". Once upon a time MS used to strive for backward compatibility. These days every few years there's a new function you need to call. You can't get optimal behavior just by writing good code from the start. You need to do that, and also call the YesIKnowHowPixelsWork api call, and set <yesIAmCompetent>true</yesIAmCompetent> in your manifest to get what should be the default behavior. It's a mess.
