Creo 2.0 Embedded Browser Issues with Windchill

I am running Creo 2.0 with PTC Windchill PDMLink 10.2

 

I have browsed a bunch of previous topics, but I have about run out of patience with this. I had this same issue 6 months ago when I first started working for this company and I have no idea what fixed it. I just messed around with config.pro and other settings and cleared the cache and eventually it worked. 

 

Right now I've cleared the catch, tried every inbrowser config.pro setting, tried running in a separate window. Nothing is getting windchill to display properly inside of Creo. I also get a "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" error everytime I open Creo, even when the browser was working properly which is more than just a little annoying.

 

Please help!

So I found out how to disable display scaling on high DPI settings on Creo 2.0. Shocking, but it's different than clicking on the shortcut or the others have posted in the past (guessing different versions of Creo) You have to go into the parametric.exe file instead of the shortcut. 

 

This seems to have cured my browser issues.

It seems that it doesn't matter what I do. It cuts off the whole right and bottom of the browser.

 

If I try the IE browser config.pro setting I get tons of script issues

Check your Windows Display settings. Make sure you are running at 100%. That's the whole windows setting NOT the browser zoom level. We have seen many issues when it's not at 100%.

@JM_LPE 

 

I think solution pf one of the previous posts will help...

From same post... 

-------------------

Set the override high dpi scaling behavior drop-down in the application properties to "System".

 

This option is only present in build 15063 onwards (officialy released yesterday), for prior versions you have to do stuff which involves messing around with application manifest files.

Can you dumb this down a little for me? How do I get to the dpiawarnesscontext.exe properties? What folder is that located in?
