Here's the link to the issue: viewtopic.php?p=1251557#p1251557Due to recent changes in the widgets code, newer versions of GZDoom will probably no longer run on Windows 7 natively. If you cannot run GZDoom on Windows 7, you can try VxKex to see if it fixes the problem for you.
The AdjustWindowRectExForDpi function was added in Windows 10, so this will also affect Windows 8 users.
I think for the time being we should consider a workaround here, this isn't really something that's a make-or-break-deal like when we ditched XP support because the compiler stopped supporting it.
Truth be told, there are at least two other issues as well that won't work right on 7 and 8 anymore:
* when using -stdout it won't handle localized text anymore because allowing to set the console to UTF-8 was only added in Windows 10.
* the new startup window won't work with Japanese and Korean because the fonts being needed may not be there.
The writing is on the wall: Support for these old OSs will inevitably decline and eventually stop entirely, but IMO this issue here shouldn't be the cause.
