Windows 10: Blurred Tray Icons

I've been having this problem the last few weeks. Will rebuilding the icon cache resolve it?

Thanks

:)

 

Tray icon is blurred when I switch user with different DPI

Hi everyone,

I develop application in windows 10 build 10586(newest version), and I find a problem.

Suppose I have two user accounts:

• session 1 (account user1), DPI: 125%
• session 2 (account user2), DPI: 100%

When I do theses steps, tray icon would be blurred...

• Launch program in user1 session, tray icon looks like clear on the bottom right corner。
• Switch to another user (user2)。
• Stitch back to the user1。
• tray icon is blurred。
• operate the application, tray icon is normal as long as it's updated。

Does anyone encounter this issue? It would be no problem if both DPI are 100%, maybe OS use wrong icon to scale into 125%。

Thanks for your answer.

 

System tray icons blur and darken until they disappear

Hi Jarrod,

We appreciate your willingness to have this issue submitted on our Feedback Hub. Since the application at your end is not

Restarting seems to fix it but it keeps happening.

 

Hi there. Are your screen settings set to default? Open Settings app > Choose System > Display > Is everything set to Recommended?

 

I tried that and it didn't help, regardless it's definitely not a solution as I have a big screen and text is tiny at recommended size. Thanks

 

Did this start happening after the last cumulative update a few Tuesdays ago?

 

Sounds about right but I also started using a new laptop a few weeks ago so not sure if it's the laptop or the OS.

 

It'll be the OS for sure. Great laptop BTW.

You may want to check out the Dell site to see if someone has a similar problem. You may also try uninstalling the update to see if that does it. You can always reinstall it and live with it until a fix comes along. So often updates alter drivers. I would bet this is affecting your video driver.

 

At one time my 21.5" screen would have been considered big but because I have 4 computers connected through a KVM I do not use the recommended 1920x1080 resolution but prefer the 1440x900 on all 4 computers with 125% sizing on text, apps and other things. It's a pretty good balance for my older eyes.
