    Font size and clarity issue in certain apps between monitor switches


    I'm not sure if this is really a Windows 10 issue or an app issue, but certain apps, like Notepad++ or Microsoft Teams, when switching from laptop/external monitors (like after sleep or hibernate or shut down), the font in x y or z app(s) will suddenly have a "wet paper" or "fuzzy" look, while others will look the same. I can figure out how to adjust the app or ClearType to make them look OK again, but sometimes this relies on me changing the app's settings over and over again.

    For instance, this happens most often on Notepad++, where the text will suddenly be bigger or smaller and have that fuzzy look. My Windows settings aren't changing automatically (that I've seen) between monitor switches.

    Any suggestions? I'm on a Lenovo ThinkPad P53 with display adapters Intel UHD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA Qaudro T2000... I've already tried updating/reinstalling them.

    Since it happens most often with Notepad++, I was going to post in their "community", but they require that I log in with an account from Google, Facebook, Twitter, or GitHub, which I prefer not to do because the permissions say they'll be able to view/modify things on those accounts, which I think is excessive. So I'm posting here as a start. Thanks for your patience.

    :)

    Hello,

    I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?
