Windows 10: RDC: blurry fonts in apps

Hello,

I've got a strange issue which is not persistent, sometimes it resolves, but this time I'm struggling for a couple of days. When connecting via RDC Remote Desktop Connection to remote server I see blurry fonts in some apps like SSMS, PowerBI Desktop or Notepad++. But Windows Explorer, the desktop, Start Menu looks good. Recently I have switched setup from 3 displays to 2 displays and changed the monitor.


I've got a Windows 10 10.0.17134 notebook with 1920 x 1080 Recommended resolution display as primary with 125% Scale Recommended, and a monitor with 1920 x 1080 Recommended resolution and 100% Recommended Scale. When I'm starting my RDC session, it always appears on notebook display, and when I full screen it it looks good, all fonts are clear. Then I drag the whole RDC window to my monitor, make it full screen, RDC adjusts fonts and then applications fonts become blurry, some even very small, almost unreadable like SSMS login window.


From my machine I have another RDC connection to a couple of similar server which look good at least now. So when I drag from the notebook display to the monitor it rescales but everything looks sharp.


As a side note, when the RDC window with blurry fonts is in the monitor and from that remote server I connect via RDC to yet another server everything looks good also in that new connection.


So, there is a problem only with this one particular RDC connection. RDC Experience settings are 'Detect connection quality automatically', 'Persistent bitmap caching' is set.


Also when I used this particular RDC in 3 monitors setup everything was working good as well.


What else to check? I tried to set scale 100% on the notebook display, also tried to make the monitor as primary - didn't help. Of course did a lot of restarts, reconnects etc.


Looking for any help.


UPD:

It looks like on my host on the monitor some fonts are blurry. I didn't noticed that because mostly working via RDC, and Windows Explorer, browsers. etc fonts are good, but Notepad++, or even Folder Properties windows are partially blurry:





Will try to solve that first.


UPD2: I think I have solved blurry fonts issue on my monitor changing refresh rate to 60 from 59 for some reason and making it primary. In all apps I tried fonts look good, but in the RDC still same issue: some fonts sharp, some not:

Font kind of blurry

I just built a new gaming rig and am using an XFX 6950 and an ASUS 23.6" monitor. On some pages, I notice some fonts are a bit blurry and strain my eyes. Any idea how I can fix this? I am using windows 7, so please make the steps work for that. Thanks.

 

Change RDC background/font colors?

Thank you for the screenshots. Are you able to right-click in the Desktop of the RDC to show any Display settings? Is there any option to change the font style/size for the RDC menu?

 

Blurry fonts in Win7 7600 64bit

I am having problem with blurry/fuzzy fonts in Win7 build 7600 64bit. Some fonts in control panel are really blurry. You can check attached picture. This blurriness actually makes me dizzy *Twitch :twitch:. Also display in Win7 is kinda foggy compared to XP where everything is clear and crisp.

I am using latest graphic drivers and monitor drivers + intelchipset is installed. Fullscreen games are also kinda foggy compared to XP.
I have smooth fonts (cleartype) disabled.
In search of a solution. Anyone?
Regards.
