Software too small on 4K resolution screen

So, I've had this laptop for some time, and am trying to use the software "ChessBase 12". However, everything is way too small. I know that this is a conflict with the 4K resolution of the monitor.

My Question:

How can I force an application that wasn't built for 4K resolution (like CB12) to display correctly? Everything is pretty much 1/4 the size it should be.

The Catch:

Messing with the resolution/display settings on my laptop is not an option, as I want the 4K resolution everywhere else. Plus, the last time I tried messing with those settings, it triggered some major OS conflict and slowed my system to a crawl. System Restore, PC Reset/Refresh, and Factory Settings didn't fix the issue. I had to boot into recovery mode and reset from there and it finally fixed it.

What I've Tried:

I have tried troubleshooting, and doing that DPI Scaling thing, but it doesn't work. Also, the option to set the resolution in properties is grayed out.

My Specs:

  • Lenovo Y50-70 Gaming Laptop (64-Bit)
  • Windows 10 (Pre-Installed)
  • 16GB RAM
  • Intel Quad-Core i7 Processor
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M GPU
  • Over 700GB Free Space
  • 4K UHD Screen (3840 x 2160)
4 Reset to default
