The title should explain it, I have not used VCDS in a very long time, I did so today and realised why I stopped using it regularly, since the last forced software upgragde the VCDS window is tiny and only takes up less than 1/4 of my available screen space already reduced by all the Windows and Firefox guff, before you could click on the overlapping square icon to expand it to full screen, there seems no way to do so now.

 

I have vision problems and simply cannot read it clearly any more, especially having to scroll through the thousands of unwanted parameters in measuring blocks to find the ones that I need, that is already a reduced window.

 

When I plugged it in it asked me to download the latest version, I did not do so as that was likely to cause me even more problems, it can only complete with it connected to the  car and with a Wifi signal which I dont have in the car park here, now that I want to install the latest version in the hope that it might cure the problem it no longer prompts me to do so and I cant find any menu option for it.

 

Any help will be really gratefully received, I have to view a Yeti this weekend midway through an 800km trip and need to do a VCDS scan on it?

Thanks, I did the same and found a Rosstech video, your link with the photos is a lot easier to follow.

The webpage says not to have it any bigger than half the screen width = 1/4 screen area because second windows open beside the first like in Measuring Blocks that I am trying to use, before you could have them full screen and overlapping in usual Windows fashion (cascade?) and minimise the list of parameters once you had made your choice so you could see the measurements, now if you minimise it it is lost and I am struggling to read the measurements in a tiny window.

 

As Paul Calf would say its a bag O shoîte

 

Another new and improved user experience 😒

 

This forum is the only one that has never created a massive negative experience for me after an upgrade!
