Windows 10: 125% scaling on 1440p

I have a 1440p 27" monitor and because of this, 100% scaling looks a bit too small on it for my liking, so I upped it to 125%. Majority of applications look fine however, there are some that appear blury and I was wondering if there was a simple fix for it?

When un-docking laptop, Windows scaling changes to 125% but still shows 100% in settings

I have a 1920x1080 laptop display, and 2 extnernal 1920x1080 displays. When I dock, I do not use my laptop display. Scaling is set to 100% for all monitors when in use.

When I un-dock, and open my laptop display, scaling changes automatically, and visually appears 125%. I go to my display settings, and it says 100%. But when I change to 125% (which is the "recommended" setting) then back to 100%, my display then looks as it
should.

This is quite repeatable.

• I would prefer scaling does not change when I un-dock
• Why does does he actual scaling not match what the setting is set to?

 

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!

Notification area is broken under 110% scaling. Any way to fix it?

The problem is apparently caused by glitchy calculations for "irregular" scaling values' like 110%. It is not surprising that 125% scaling works fine. I have 200% scaling on my ThinkPad and it also woks fine.

But for my desktop %125 is too much. I need %110, just like I had in Windows 7.

You have a lot of custom toolbars, which is why locking/unlocking the taskbar make a difference for you. In the default setup (no extra toolbars) locking/unlocking does nothing in Windows 10. I wish I could unlock the bar and manually increase the size of notification area a little bit, but alas it is not possible.

And, of course, no, I'm not hitting any "exit options", as is clearly demonstrated by the pictures I posted. The invisible notification icon can be made to reappear by rearranging other icons.

You didn't see them because they are not there. The scaling value is not a fixed list, as you seem to suggest. The scaling value is freely specifiable by the user. You are supposed to type it in. You can type in any value: 123%, %99 or 136% if you so desire. The "125%, 150%, 175%" list that you see there is just a suggestion.

No, the icon that disappears is not listed as "hidden" there. As I said above, it is an obvious GUI-level drawing bug.
