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

Here are some other scaling factors just in case.

Max value for Windows 8.1 scaling method?
Sorry for my bad english

 

I'm using 125% dpi scaling, but as of version 1607, build 14393.5 (or possibly an earlier update), the blurry dpi issue is fixed. I did the following:
Turn off xpexplorer (set it back to Windows 10 scaling), then reboot twice as instructed.
In Settings > System > Display, set the dpi back to 100%.
In Control Panel > Display, click on "set a custom scaling level" and set it back to 100%.
Sign out, and sign back in.
Open Control Panel > Display and click on "set a custom scaling level." This time, set it to the desired level (125% for me).
Sign out and sign back in. No more blurriness!
The Settings > Display app shows "A custom scale factor is set." in red letters, and the slider is greyed out at 175% (??) but everything works fine.

 

In Win 10Pro, 1607, latest Radeon driver v16.9.1,
Some splash/info screens still have the blurry text issue using 100% DPI on a regular (not wide) panel, 125% being too much.









Otherwise, the OS/App menus, etc, looks pretty fine. Any thoughts?

 

The script worked really well for me on 125%. My monitor is 34 inches diagonal with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and before the script was applied the text was really bad. Not perfect now, but much much better with the script. Hopefully Microsoft fix this in future builds and negate the need to run a script to fix their software!

Thanks to the member who posted the start up script.

 

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).[/quote] Thank you! This worked for me too!

 

I have come to the conclusion that the blurry fonts are being CAUSED by AMD...before I install their driver, after a fresh install of Windows 10, I am using the default Windows display driver. ALL text (fonts) are as sharp as a razor blade. After I install the $#%@$$@# AMD display driver, the fonts on all 3rd party software is fuzzy. I blame this all on AMD.

Wish I could use only the Windows 10 default display driver, but I lose control of my brightness, goes to full brightness and I cant turn it down.

Anyone know how to use the default Win 10 display driver and STILL control your brightness?

 

That is not correct. I am on Intel/Nvidia and still experienced this behaviour. AMD drivers have nothing to do with this, it's a Windows DPI Scaling issue.

 

Thank you so much. It helped me to get rid of blurry test on applications.
