Qt apps break all the way to being unusable on my windows system when plugging in an external display or RDPing to the machine. I use Kleopatra, Electrum, Qbittorrent, VLC, they all have scaling issues where the text and icons does not scale correctly with the buttons and other components.

Is your external display a much higher dpi than your built in screen and are we basically talking about desktop OS being shitty about handling mixed dpi?

External display has a lower dpi. I don't know if it's the OS or something else but it only happens with QT apps which makes me avoid them if possible.
