After installing Windows 10/64, v1607 and after installing VMware tools in the VM I get this Windows error message, telling me that a custom scaling factor has been set:
When I click on the blue message ("disable custom scaling and log off") I get logged off. After logging in, the error message disappears, but now I get a VMware Tools error message box, telling me that "VMware Tools provides an altered sizing setting for the GUI. To apply these changes you need to log off. Close all applications and click [OK] to log off immediately. Or click [Cancel] to log off later":
After clicking [OK] I'm getting logged off. And after logging in again, I'm - again - presented with above Windows error message:
What's this fuzz all about?
Interesting. In the UK English version of Windows 10 1607 the text reports that "A custom scale factor is set." Just a statement of fact. Maybe message mistranslated by Microsoft.
I believe It is possible to disable automatic custom scaling by removing the check mark against "Automatically adjust user interface size in the virtual machine" in the 'Display' section of the 'Virtual Machine Settings' dialog. The first time you log on after changing this setting you will be asked to log off again for the setting change to take effect. When you log on again you will be able to set the display scaling you desire.

Excellent! That was the solution to my issue.
Thanks!

You sir are a genius! I made an account just to tank you for this, I was scratching my head for so long trying to figure out how I can get custom scaling on a single monitor - it was VMWare all along setting it!
