Powerpoint refuses to scale properly on my second monitor and borders menu items etc. stay too big to operate efficiently. Word is working as it should and the menu items resize appropriately when moving from monitor to monitor. You can view an example screen shot of both Word and Powerpoint on the monitor here: http://screencast.com/t/MAkVnCXAtfph
Is there a setting to fix this and make it behave like Word does?

It could be related to Windows rather than Office, I also got the office Update and had to start all over changing the manifests
There was a recent office update, and I've noticed now that the issue appears to be fixed, without having to change the manifest file manually. I can't rule out that the fix might have something to do with my Windows build, which is 14931.rs_prerelease.160916-1700 (Windows Insider slow ring current build).
This worked for me.
Now moving PPT from 4K laptop display to FullHD external display works fine and Powerpoint scales OK.
Just wondering why it is not set by default like this :(
In Office 2016 on Windows 10, you just need to go into the directory that contains powerpnt.exe (which may be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16), and there is already a powerpnt.exe.manifest file. Change the line that says:
<dpiAware>True/PM</dpiAware>
And make it say
<dpiAware>false</dpiAware>
No need to go into the registry since there is already a manifest file that is being read.
I hade the same issue in Office 2016.
That version already has a .manifest file and a setting called dpiAware.
I simply updated the value "True/PM" to false and it seems to be working.
Thank you! Worked for me as well.
To bypass the issue of having permission to save the modified 'powerpnt.exe.manifest' file in the Office16 folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16), I first saved a copy on my desktop and then copied it over to the Office16 folder with Administrator rights.
