I have a WIN32 SW which the UI was designed in 96 DPI, so when user changes the windows DPI from 96 to 120 or bigger, the UI will be wrong. I want to know if there is API to force my SW to display the UI with 96DPI.

Starting with Windows Vista, scaling for DPI is supposed to happen automatically. I don’t have any direct experience to know how well it works, but here’s the page that explains how to turn it off:
