    How can I get crisp text both in legacy applications and in applications with new UI? If I have cleartext on, the new UI looks good but the old bad. If I turn it off, it's the other way around.

    My font size is at 125% and I run Win10 v1909. The applications you see is Notepad++ and the settings screen for cleartype

  2. My UI is not looking good

    oooh.. Uh Im bery sorry to say Lyca, but as a fellow gamer thats probably one of the worst things you can see. Do you have onboard graphics with your Laptop? If so id suggest immediately activating it in bios, and seeing if you get the same result. When
    your UI messes up that bad, AND your games FPS drops .. well its basically a death toll for your graphics card.
