Remote Desktop Connetion displays Very Small Icons and Jump Lists on Remote Machine

On my remote machine, the desktop icons, icon titles, taskbar and jump lists are puny, very difficult to read the small font size.

I've tried all of the various display/sizing options in my Surface's control panel, and also the display setting tab in Remote Desktop Connection, and have not found any comnbination that works well on the remote and Surface Pro 3. (Also, the sizing options are not so convenient anyway since a sign out is generally needed.)

 I've never had this problem and regularly use RDP on various machines. Are there others with RDP display issues?

    Thanks a lot for the tip! It has also worked on Windows 10 on Surface Book.

    The only other resolution working for me is RoyalTS already mentioned here in the thread, but it has become a huge piece of software and an overkill for my purpose, so I prefer RDCM 2.7.
