Magnification problems of Java Apps under Windows 10

Question

I am using Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

My monitor (32inch) has a native resolution of 3820 * 2160 pixels.

As soon when I use Java based applications I have problems with the magnification of fonts, buttons, etc. Often they are too small.

I know I can change the overall scaling of all elements to more than 100%. But this leads to the fact that fonts etc. are blurred.

Do you have a solution for that?

Most common solution (try google) is disable DPI awareness. You can do this by running your app with:

-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=false

Note that, here is bug for Java 8 :( See this ticket.
