  2. Kaspersky icon is Blurry on 125% Scale


    Hello,

    So I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 (latest update) on my system running Windows 10 X64.
    I always change my Monitor Scale to 125% , after the scaling the icon looks awful.
    But when Kaspersky is scanning something (animation icon) - the icon looks crystal sharp, but when Kaspersky is idle, that icon become blurry again.
    I have tested other Antiviruses e.g. Bitdefender / Eset - non of them were like Kaspersky. I have asked this question on Kaspersky forum too, but unfortunate no help.
    First Image, is when Kaspersky was scanning some file.
    Second Image, is when Kaspersky is idle.
    So I assume this issue isn't related to Kaspersky, because the icon can be up-scaled w/out loosing quality!

    Windows 10 scaling and blurriness issue

    A day ago, I suddenly started noticing blurry text & images on my screen, as well as weird scaling issues.

    First of all, here is how my status bar and windows look like:


    125% scaling blurry icons on taskbar DB1Zw.png


    125% scaling blurry icons on taskbar M3rbH.png


    (notice the battery icon, in particular).

    All the texts now look different and blurry: in my browser, in terminals, everywhere.

    In the browser, websites look different, smaller. To be sure this wasn't just an illusion, I measured a columned layout. Even though the browser scaling is set to 100%, when developer tools report a 1200px wide column, if I take a screenshot and paste it in Photoshop, I can see that it's actually only 970px wide.

    I had a look at this question: Windows 10 Font blurry 125% scaling but the suggestions didn't really help:

    • setting a custom scaling level of 125% does seem to fix the browser scaling issue, but it scales the status bar and other things to a scale that I was not used to (so this was not my previous value, for sure); also, why would I need to set 125% to make a pixel be 1px wide?
    • checking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on every application is really not a solution

    What could be the cause of this sudden change and how to revert it?
