Windows 10: Blurry apps, installation wizards, and context menus on windows 10

Hello,

I have a brand new dell laptop with a full HD display. Since i started using it i can see a lot of apps and context menus looks blurry. Also a lot of installation wizards look blurry too. I tried all the tips present on the Microsoft site and nothing works (like changing some scaling settings or setting it to automatic etc.). Also both my Nvidia and Intel display drivers as well as all other drivers are up to date. All windows updates are installed and the BIOS is up to date. For example in the picture below you can see the context menu of the windows defender looking blurry. So any tips on how to solve this problem. The newer windows version 1903 didn't solve the problem.

Custom context menu entries

So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown

 

Blurry Context Menus and other features after upgrade to 10586

Hi,

Today my system upgraded to the latest 10586 build, but now parts of my Windows 10 install are blurry and different.

1. I need to turn off Cleartype and any font smoothing as it is very uncomfortable for me to use.

2. I disabled Segoe UI in my system as that font is too blury also.

If you look at the picture, you see the before and after pictures of the right-click context menus. Both on the desktop and taskbar.

The before pics are perfectly clear. The after pics are blurry, and have a dark-gray context menu for the taskbar.

Is there any way to get it like it was before?

Is there any way to get Windows 10 to respect system wide cleartype and font smoothing settings?

See the picture below (click on it to view at full size).





Thanks!
