Running Maya on high resolution screens

I've recently bought a Surface Pro 4 and it's a really high resolution screen which is great... except when you try and run Maya older that 2016 (where they seem to have introduced scaling options).

The way around this seems:

1. Find your maya.exe ( should be found in the maya install folder usually found here C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin )
2. Right click on it to and click properties
3. Open the compatibility tab and tick on the "Override high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by:" and select "System"

Hope this helps anyone that had the same issues as I did.
