Stop Windows 10 from automatically applying High DPI settings to a program?

I have a program which works just fine on high DPI screens, without using any of the Window 10 compatibiity settings. However, Windows 10 insists on adding specific DPI compatibility settings to the program.

If the Program Compatibility Assistant service is running, Windows says that it's applied automatic compatibility settings. If the service isn't running then Windows still changes the settings, it just doesn't say so. It seems that the service is just a notifications service.

Does anyone know the name of the feature that doing the automatic changes and how to turn it off?

I've tried turning off the "Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" setting, and I've tried ticking the box in Compatibility Settings that says to ignore the settings in Settings, but nothing makes any difference.

In compatibility settings select override DPI scaling behaviour instead and set it to be performed by application.
