Issue with Chessbase 12 and Windows 10

I recently moved Chessbase 12 from my old computer to my new Windows 10 computer. However, the graphics are all messed up, some icons are really tiny, and most important of all, my board is tiny and is always gray and white. I can't change it in board settings. It looks like this: 

Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks XD

I think that you best bet would be to ask Chessbase themselves. Have you tried that?

Check your gpu and monitor resolutions. Everything looks smaller in 1920 x 1080, and much smaller in 3840 x 2160 (4K).

He's clearly pointing out that only some of the graphical elements (specifically icons and chessboard) are small, not everything. You can see that in the picture.

Yes, but windows will allow you to expand font rendering, which could allow text and menus to look fine while graphics elements do not. As in the OP picture.

 I have CB 12 on Win 10 without issues, try completely removing the program and reinstalling? Sorry I cant be of much more help...

Right click on the board and select "Board Design".  Make sure that the "No Scaling" box is NOT checked.  I get a similar result to yours when "No Scaling" is selected.
