It was affecting implementation of hidpi?  Why not leave it in until you can
actually support hidpi?  In v5.3, hidpi support is terrible and incompatible
with the built in scaling of Windows.  I relied on that setting to adjust the
UI of libreoffice because it's the only application I run that doesn't scale
nicely out of the box with the Windows scaling setting.
