Spyder interface icons very small on high resolution screen in Windows 10

spyder

I got a brand-new laptop with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 running Windows 10. After I installed Anaconda + Spyder for python coding, I noticed that the icons are extremely small, as well as the text on the Object Inspector section:

Tiny icons

Is there a way to fix this? It seems closely related to the resolution as it is also happening with Eclipse.

PS: The Eclipse workarounds includes lowering resolution which is far from ideal. I was wondering if this can be fixed maintaining the resolution settings.

Solution is: in spyder widow go to View -> window layouts -> spyder default layout. This worked for me. Show activity on this post. I closed and reopened Spyder, and somehow my windows were resized the way I wanted.

I know this question is old but I ran into the same problem. I fixed it by adding

[Platforms] 
WindowsArguments = dpiawareness=0

to qt.conf in my Anaconda3 installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Anaconda3_64, as it is part of my MS VS installation).
