Windows 10: Microsoft fixes game performance and blurry text issues in Windows 10

Microsoft released a new update to the Beta and Release Preview channels of its Windows 10 Insiders program that fix several issues affecting some users of the company's operating system.

Most updates are pushed to Insider channels first to give them another round of testing before they make their way to stable versions via Windows Update and other update management systems.

Microsoft lists four known issues on the Windows 10 version 21H1 health dashboard currently that may affect users. Some of these are listed as resolved or mitigated.

The latest describes an issue with the news and interests button on Windows 10; it may appear blurry on the taskbar.



News and Interest displays weather information on the taskbar when enabled, and a news widget when it is activated.

The update KB5003690 addresses this issue:

We fixed an issue that causes blurry text on the news and interests button on the Windows taskbar for some display configurations.
​

Some Windows 10 users were hit with performance issues after installing the Windows updates KB5000842 and KB5001330, or newer. Microsoft confirmed the issue earlier this year and even claimed that it fixed the issue in April 2021. The known issues listing does not list performance issues in games anymore, but the new update that Microsoft released to Insider PCs contains a fix, or an updated fix, for that issue.

We fixed an issue in a small subset of users that have lower than expected performance in games after installing KB5000842 or later.
​

Windows 10 users who are affected by these issues will be able to install these updates soon. It is likely that they will be included in this month's preview updates for the operating system, and then for all users on the coming July Patch Day, which will be on July 13, 2021.

Preview updates for stable installations of Windows 10 should not really be installed, unless you have a very good reason for that. One may be, that it fixes a critical issue that you are experiencing. Gamers who experience performance issue that appeared after the installation of previous updates, could install the preview update once it is released, to see if it fixes the issue.

It is recommended to create a backup of the system before installing any updates.

Now You: have you experienced any issues lately on your devices?

FIX | Windows 10 Blurry Text and Windows!


Excellent!! *Biggrin

I have already discovered it a few minutes ago, I have applied it on my system and it has resolved the blurry text problem I was facing!

Here are a few screenshots after the application of this utility:







On the second screenshot you can see part of the Event Viewer window magnified at 400%. It looks GREAT!!

From the site of this utility I have also learnt that the scaling of the text was functioning flawlessly even until Windows 8.1!! I come from Windows 7 Home Premium - never used 8 or 8.1 - and I was under the impression that Win 7 was the last OS in which text displayed sharply on High DPI monitors. It is a big disappointment to discover that Microsoft has messed this up SO badly in Windows 10.

Now, the only other thing I am eagerly expecting is someone to update or create a utility which will enable Group Policy on Windows 10 Home. Something like this. I have tried it - because I want to remove OneDrive completely- but even though it installs and runs, OneDrive does not appear on the list.

Thank you
