I have ASDM 7.6(1) and latest version of java (Version 8 Update 9) installed. When I log in to ASDM my display is not to the scale, it is a messed up view. I don't know how to fix this issue - I tried downgrading java which didn't help. Not sure if this issue in windows 10 or what. Please help. Pictures attached below.
FIXED: used this solution, look in the comments. - https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/13047676/asdm-7-6-1-font-size-too-small#comment-11675651

Hi Aditya, I tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me :( I am not sure what is the root problem for it. Please let me know if you need more information from me which may help to resolve my issue.
Thanks.

Hi Ameer,
Did you try using any other Win 10 machine ?

No I didn't try on another win 10 but I did try on Ubuntu vm - it works fine but the font is too small on it.
I found similar post who is having same issue - https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/13047676/asdm-7-6-1-font-size-too-small

I've run into this issue in the past when I switch my laptop from external monitors to the built-in screen. ASDM always has a problem when I go back to my external monitors. In the past it has resolved itself 'magically' but I wish I knew what to change to force it back.
Edit: I'm currently experiencing this issue and want to find a resolution, if any.

I found a simple solution from this link
https://superuser.com/questions/988379/how-do-i-run-java-apps-upscaled-on-a-high-dpi-display
In sammary, here is the answer
If javaw.exe does not work, try the other two java.exe or javaws.exe

You can always validate the actual Java executable being used by right clicking the ASDM application in Windows task manager and selecting "Open file location".
That will take you straight to the file whose properties need to be modified.
I do this quite often on my 4k display and it works like a charm for ASDM and other Java-based apps (AnyConnect Profile Editor for example).

Good instructions - thanks for sharing.
I would only add to be sure to repeat those steps every time a Java update is installed.

Worked for me. Very helpful. Thanks!
As far as finding the actual file to modify, Marvin has indicated best way to follow using the Task Manager.
