Default Plugin Window is too small cutting off access to most of the plugin

I'm trying to use MPC Beats in protools to do drums. When the window opens it looks like the attached screenshot and that is all I can access. You can't scroll right or down to access the features not currently in the plugin window.

When MPC Beats is opened in standalone mode it basically takes up the full screen. You can resize the screen and then you can scroll to the different options you want.

Help Us Help You
You really need to provide more info if you're to get any help.
What's your screen resolution?
Are you shure the MPC plugin and your PT version are compatible?

So from your reply, I gather that you didn't even bother to read the "Help us..." link.
"the program is made to be run as a plugin in Pro Tools" makes little sense.

I read it and tried to give what info I thought might be necessary from my POV. If you need anything else please let me know, I'm a novice at this troubleshooting so I don't think I know all that you need. But honestly based on your energy I don't think your goal is focused on helping this problem anyway. I'm limiting our further dialogue to any insight you might be able to provide in solving this problem.

What’s the display setting on laptops that makes things bigger so they can be seen better on the small screens? Find that setting, put it on 100%, restart Pro Tools and see if it made a difference.

Thanks a ton that actually worked.

I went to Display Settings and changed the scale from 125% to 100%.

Now when I open the plugin everything fits in the window.

The only problem is now everything on my laptop is wayyy to small, I hate how it looks. I need to figure out a way to apply this change to just the app. But this is a start, thank you.

Update on this:

I found out that the large scaling of the plugin was being cause by the "Override High DPI Scaling" being on for ProTools. I had previously turned this setting on because it was the only way I found to fix a different problem. That problem was the whenever I would open ProTools it would open in a minimized window. With Override high DPI scaling on it would open in full screen like normal.

That problem is back because I turned the setting off, but the plugin window problem has been fixed.

Now I just need to figure out how to have both things work at once.
