Windows 10: FIX | Windows 10 Blurry Text and Windows!

I have put it in User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

also I haven't figure out yet if logout will do after you gpedit this or do you have to reboot... so some trail end error might be required xD I think the first time you login to your account it installs the script into registry, but you see no changes, then you have to reboot/re-login and then it should be applied. I had a situation once, because I was testing something, that after I removed that script from gpedit and I reboot my pc the fonts ware still crystal clear, but then I made a second reboot and they ware back to being blurry.

 

The author of the tool in the first post, mentions that Windows deletes/resets the DPI registry settings after every second reboot, so that is probably related with your questions.

 

I'm afraid the script solution doesn't work for me, I'll have to revert to the tool which seems perfectly legit (and I've tested it already - works as intended) and nothing more than a wrapper for the DPI registry changes that need to be applied on every restart, because Windows deletes them.

(update: indeed, "reinstalled" the tool and the blurriness is gone once again)

 

I created an account just to say thank you so much. I created the CMD file and put in my c:\ . I then pointed to it with the user and computer logon script and my computer now boots up crystal clear every time. The tool also worked but wouldn't stick. You are the man!

 

Thanks a lot, EShirou!

It works for me, too, very well! But I really need only the following line (see below):

Code: REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DpiScalingVer /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00001018 /f[/quote] All the best, and go ahead with your recommendations!

then save it as <yourname>.cmd somewhere on your HDD > open local ground policy editor (gpedit.msc from search bar) > In user config (im translating this from my language so there might be little translation differences) > go to Windows Settings > Scripts (login/logout) > In the window on the right double click on Login to open it (because we want this to be applied every time you login) > in Scripts tab, select Add > then in new window select Browser > navigate to where you saved your cmd file and select it > then just press Ok > Apply > Ok > Then sign out/reboot your pc > Login to your account for the first time after adding this script so it will be applied > then if it will not work, Sign out/reboot again and from now on it should work every time (works for me).

I noticed that fonts are much more crystal clear everywhere now, it seems MS messed up badly with dpi in windows 10... In some places font is only 5~10% blurry (right mouse click menu, display settings etc.) while in others (device manager for example) is 100% blurry. After this I have crystal clear fonts everywhere :3

Can someone please explain the three settings?

Code: REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DpiScalingVer /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00001018 /f REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Win8DpiScaling /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000078 /f[/quote] I understand these two:
Code: REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Win8DpiScaling /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000078 /f[/quote] First is related to flipping Win 8 DPI scaling on. Second one is related to DPI setting. So 60 is something like 100%, 78 is 125% and so on.

Please explain first one.

Also, I tried these settings, WinAero Tweaker and Xplorer software, but my blurry text problem is not solved. As of 8/19 my PC is fully updated with all windows updates.

 

"78" in HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\LogPixels is hex code and means 120 (dpi) in decimal code. 96 dpi - in decimal code - is standard of Win 10, so 120 dpi means 125% scaling.

"1000" in hex code means 4096 in decimal code. "1018" in hex code means 4120 in decimal code. But I don't know why there is a 4000 (in decimal code), nor the meaning of ..\DpiScalingVer.

I did that, it was already set to the best (clearest) settings.

This is really aggravating. Never had this problem in Windows before. That's what makes me think it is a driver issue. Every Windows OS I ever used (from Windows 95 - 8.1) installed appropriate drivers (drivers came pre-installed). Now, with Windows 10 "pure" install, I have this problem.

 

No, Probe, this most probably isn't a driver issue! Nor is it a cleartype issue. Please, follow the recommendations above (changing the HKCU registry entries).

Best regards, and good luck!

I've been using this solution for 3 days and this is the ONLY solution that fixed the problem for me.

Other things I tried that did not work:
- Changing/uninstalling drivers (drivers are not the issue).
- Making the above .cmd file and adding it to startup items or the task scheduler (would only work every OTHER time I logged in).
- I couldn't even download the "windows10_dpi_blurry_fix.xpexplorer.com" .exe as I get a "server not found" message every time (plus I don't want to run an strange.exe file) even if no virus are detected.

 

The link works fine (something is interfering in your system, an antivirus, browser extension etc.) and the .exe is perfectly safe. All programs you/we download are "strange .exe's" anyway.

 

The xpexplorer exe is a godsend. It worked on my laptop. I tried the other remedies such as ClearType etc.. all doesn't work.

Works fantastically well!!!

Thanks a lot.
