Windows 10: RDP: blurry fonts in apps

Hello,

I've got a strange issue which is not persistent, sometimes it resolves, but this time I'm struggling for a couple of days. When connecting via RDP to remote server I see blurry fonts in some apps like SSMS, PowerBI Desktop or Notepad++. But Windows Explorer, the desktop, Start Menu looks good.


I've got a Windows 10 10.0.17134 notebook with 1920 x 1080 Recommended resolution display as primary with 125% Scale Recommended, and a monitor with 1920 x 1080 Recommended resolution and 100% Recommended Scale. When I'm starting my RDP session, it always appears on notebook display, and when I full screen it it looks good, all fonts are clear. Then I move the whole RDP window to my monitor, make it full screen, RDP adjusts fonts, and applications fonts become blurry, some even very small, almost unreadable like SSMS login window.


From my machine I have another RDP connection to a similar server which looks good at least now.


As a side note, when RDP window with blurry fonts is in monitor and from that remote server I connect via RDP to yet another server everything looks good also in that new connection.


So, there is a problem only with this one particular RDP connection. RDP Experience settings are 'Detect connection quality automatically', 'Persistent bitmap caching' is set.


Also when I used this particular RDP in 3 monitors setup everything was working good as well.


What else to check? I tried to set scale 100% on notebook, also tried to make monitor as primary - didn't help. Of course did a lot of restarts, reconnects etc.


Looking for any help.

:)

 

Font kind of blurry

I just built a new gaming rig and am using an XFX 6950 and an ASUS 23.6" monitor. On some pages, I notice some fonts are a bit blurry and strain my eyes. Any idea how I can fix this? I am using windows 7, so please make the steps work for that. Thanks.

 

Blurry fonts in Win7 7600 64bit

I am having problem with blurry/fuzzy fonts in Win7 build 7600 64bit. Some fonts in control panel are really blurry. You can check attached picture. This blurriness actually makes me dizzy *Twitch :twitch:. Also display in Win7 is kinda foggy compared to XP where everything is clear and crisp.

I am using latest graphic drivers and monitor drivers + intelchipset is installed. Fullscreen games are also kinda foggy compared to XP.
I have smooth fonts (cleartype) disabled.
In search of a solution. Anyone?
Regards.

 

my font is blurry on all application

Hi Carlos,



This could be a preset font for the interface. To verify if that is the case on the fonts, please provide the following information:

• Is this the font ever since you’ve had the device?
• If no, when did the font started to be blurry and thin?
• Are all applications being affected?
• Which build version is currently on your Windows 10?

Regards.
