  1. How to enable sharp, crisp fonts in icons and taskbar


    Hello everyone

    In Windows 7 I used an aliased font for my taskbar, start menu and desktop icons, because the text looks crisp and clear. Windows 10 makes the taskbar, start menu and desktop icons' text anti-aliased (fortunately the window titles are still aliased). How can I make Windows use aliased (i.e. non-blurry) text everywhere?

    Thanks
    Samuel

    System tray icons blur and darken until they disappear

    In my case, I didn't have this problem with the Anniversary Update, but it has appeared with the Creators Update. I have three system tray icons that over a few days will eventually disappear. The same blurry icon appears in Settings > Personalization >Taskbar
    > Select which icons appear on the taskbar and in other locations within Settings.

    Rebooting 'restores' the icons to their sharp/crisp image, but after the few days they just fade away.

    My display is 1920 x 1080 with 125% scaling.

    Windows 10 Home Edition

    Huge page, icons and font sizes appeared overlapping the screen

    After the latest windows 10 update all the icons and fonts and pages became hug, ovelapping the screen. All the fixes found online didn't work. I right clicked on the screen and went to view and adjusted it but it didn't do much. It seems windows
    needs a new update to fix this problem. Please hurry. Every page I open is huge and I have to reduce it just to be able to see it. The desktop icons are still big and I cannot reduce them to what they were before. Even the quality of the print is not as
    crisp and sharp as before. The aps on the bottom taskbar are still huge and a little blurry, not sharp.The latest update messed everything up and I cannot get it back to how they were before. I have experienced many issues with windows 10 but this is probably
    the worst one for me. I really liked windows 7, I never had these many issues with it!!! Didn't this happen to many users, are there many complaints???
