Windows 10: ClearType inconsistency in Windows 10

Hi,


Can somebody shed some light on the following inconsistency of ClearType of Windows 10?


I have defined some specific registry keys for ClearType parameters as explained here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/advanced/cleartype-registry-settings?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8


However, after some time the sub-pixel color seems to change although the font shape does not change.

Some times after rebooting the machine this does not happen, but other times it randomly happens.

This did not happen in Windows 7.



Any idea?

Thanks

:)

IE9: ClearType forced on

Is your problem on this iiyama ProLite E2607WS-1 (1920x1200 26" LCD)? I'm surprised. Or are you operating the monitor in portrait mode?

May i suggest setting display dpi to 120, then run cleartype tuner (download from MS)

Of course, we wouldnt need to bother with cleartype if we had higher pixel density displays! *Pimp imp:

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
