If you look above you can see that the boxes at the bottom are small and cramped, and they stay the same size no matter what size the window is. Any help?

Disable DPI scaling at the OS level. OBS does not support DPI scaling.

Do you know a better way of doing this on Windows 10 than the actual thing in settings? Because it works the opposite way, and the elements that I want to get bigger actually get smaller.

Oh never mind, I found this helpful tutorial. http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

Confirmed. I came here to post the same fix.
  1. Create empty file called obs64.exe.manifest / obs32.exe.manifest respectively where the executables are located. (Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\**bit\)
  2. Copy the code below and paste into the newly created file(s).
  3. Save the file(s).
NOTE: If you have changed the DPI settings in shortcuts, you may need to remove the checkbox for DPI scaling in those links prior to running obs-studio again.

Win10 solution in my case (use DPI setting and Win7 compatibility):

in the compatibility settings for the application (e.g. right mouse on shortcut in Win10 -> More -> Open File Location, right mouse again on the appropriate OBS studio shortcut (OBS Studio (64bit) for me ) -> Compatibility ->

1. Run this program compatible for Windows 7
2. Disable display scalilng on high DPI Settings

Not sure if running it as Win7 has any negative side effects? I'm using for super simple stuff.
