  1. I checked/unchecked a lot of boxes, and now my text looks weird


    I was having some performance issues with graphics which turned out to be something related to drivers, and I went to a screen and I remember un-checking a lot of boxes, and then my text became all weird, for every app, so it's Windows-wide. I know it was not on the default settings app, but rather something like control panel I am not completely sure. This has really started to bug me especially as typing 'cl' looks like a d. I am pretty sure there were other UI issues too, but I only remember this one as it is the really annoying one. I have tried other internet alternatives, but they al

    Weird text outlining- Windows 10

    Hi,

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.


    • What is the exact issue that you’re facing with Windows 10?

    • What exactly do you mean by weird text outlining?

    • Are you facing any issue with applications?
    In the screenshot, I am unable to see any weird outlining. But if you are seeing any issue with the display then I suggest you to try installing all the pending Windows Updates and check for the issue. If the issue still persists then try changing
    the resolution and check.

    Thanks and regards.

  3. Remote assistance box is checked automatically in Windows 10

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please provide more information to help you better:


      • Did you uncheck the box?

      • Did you face the same issue after unchecking the box?

      • Are you facing this issue on a local account or the Microsoft account?

      • Which version of Windows 10 is installed on the pc?
    I suggest you to Sign out from the current user account, restart the pc and login to the admin account or the Microsoft account to check.

    I would also suggest you to do a clean boot and check if any third party apps are causing the issue.
    Placing the computer in a clean boot state can reduce software conflicts and help identify the root cause of the issue.

    Please refer to the article below for steps to perform a clean boot.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Once you are done with the troubleshooting, perform the steps in "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot "to reset computer
    as usual.


    Hope this information was helpful. Please let us know the status of your issue so that we can assist you further.
