That may have been how I ultimately did it on the machines I ran into problems on. It's been a while, so I can't really remember, but it does ring something of a bell. But I do think it's a high dpi screen issue, not win 10 itself. I'm pretty sure I've installed spss on a normal res screen in 10 and not run into that problem. High dpi in general on windows is still something of an adventure. There's a lot of stuff out there that doesn't get along with it.
