If you downscale the resolution of windows to 1920 x 1080 then you don't get 4k.

That question answers itself really, you changed the resolution to 1080p.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Rest your resolution to 4k and then in the display settings, under scale and layout (if you are using Win10) you can change the text and Apps to make things readable.
