Windows 10: Cursor on 125% scaling becomes pixelated mess after a while. Only way to fix is to re apply...

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.

 

Scaling set to 125 % but most of the apps are blurry - How to fix it ?

Give this a shot, it's fairly new.... in Settings:

 

Scaling set to 125 % but most of the apps are blurry - How to fix it ?

Scaling set to 125 % but most of the apps are blurry as well as the control panel - How to fix it ?

I have tried also the new option from advance scaling settings, the "Let Windows try to fix apps so they are not blurry" but i get the same thing. I have looked all over the internet and had not found any fix for this.

Things are ok when I set the scaling to 100% but every other scaling option makes the most of the programs blurry as well as the control panel. This problem is going for a long time since windows 10 is around and I cant understand why microsoft still has not done anything about it.

If anyone found a way around to make this work the proper way to share please.

Thank you in advance.
