I am usually using a front end, so don't encounter this issue, but when testing / upgrading versions it often easier to use Mame UI to launch games. However I can't get Mame UI to launch at a sensible resolution with Switchres enabled. I have tried every setting I can think of.
With Switchres disabled I get a sensible display. With Switchres enable it is either out of sync or really tiny and unreadable, however games all launch into their correct resolutions perfectly. The issue is just with Mame UI
How do I get switchres to select a sensible resolution for Mame UI and still launch games at their correct resolution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried with a modern version? UI font rendering was greatly improved in groovymame some time ago. If you do so, make sure to select the uismall font type for the UI.
Anyway the internal UI is ugly as hell.

I was having this exact same problem, text went incredibly small when Windows was in Portrait mode. UIsmall in the mame INI fixed it. Thanks
I guess I maybe should also explore some alternate frontends
