From the user perspective: It’s needed to set System (Enhanced) mode for DPI Scaling Behavior:

Update
After testing this for a couple of days I fount some glitches with Enhancement mode.
Windows Explorer
On LowDPI screen: moving location “segment” somewhere in order to link it.

This soft works nicely without compatibility mode, but when I started to use ConEmu with Enhancement mode, it passes execution context to every application what is created from the console. Hence when I type code in my console it inherits settings.Then it looks like that:

This case applies on other applications, when improved compatibility mode is enabled.
