The only solution is to restart Windows. This is really annoying. All opened apps and documents need to be reopened again. Sleep mode is useless. How can this be fixed?

  2. Text is too small for some apps, but scaling is good.

    Hi I'm having a little issue with the font size. The label under the icons on my desktop, any text in my file explorer, and tabs on google chrome are super tiny. The font size for other apps are fine, it's just these apps so far that have this issue. I like
    the scaling, so I don't want to change that. Here are some pictures.

    Here in my desktop, you can see the size of the icon lables vs the text in the search bar. The search bar looks like a good size.

    Below the desktop is a screenshot of google chrome, and again you can see the difference of the tab and bookmark font size vs the search bar font size

  3. Text font in apps on Windows 10 OS ridiculously small

    Hi,

    I tried changing the custom scaling to 150% and it pretty much just rendered my entire desktop's text sizes and such a little too small as well (I have attached a picture below).

    Around 200%-250% scaling would be good for my desktop, but even adjusting the scaling to 300% does not help much with increasing the font sizes and such in apps.

    It seems like adjusting the dpi scaling levels on Windows 10 can't really do much though.

    Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Regards

    Windows 10: Too Blurry at 150% Scaling (recommended), Too Small at 100% scaling

    I have a laptop with a 14 inch screen and 1920x1080 Resolution.

    The recommended scaling is 150% by default

    Text is still too small for some apps, but scaling is good. 3af89035-451b-4fb3-882a-8235daea4fbb.png

    This makes the desktop icons and taskbar icons look a good size, but apps like "Steam" "rainmeter" and many dialogue boxes have blurry pixel-y texts.

    at 100% size, this all goes away, but everything is far too small to use on a 14 inch screen.

    Steps I have tried

    1. Updating display drivers, both nvidia and intel graphics drivers

    2. detecting hardware changes

    3. setting up clear text font

    4. Disabling Cleartext font (then resetting it to be normal)

    5. Setting custom scaling level. (then resetting it after it didnt work.)

    6. DISABLING DPI SCALING ON APPS:

    --This makes it so an individual app will run at 100% scaling, making it clear, but THEN IT BECOMES TOO SMALL.

    example: normal sized steam:

    Dpi Disabled steam:

    http://i.imgur.com/enXuDKj.png

    This option is not acceptable, as i want the full size readability of steam with the clearness of smaller steam

    This is the case with many apps, where the text and window in general look "Blurry" or "Fuzzy," so i wouldnt be able to change each apps scaling, that would take a large amount of effort. but i dont want to disable dpi scaling anyway, since the laptop screen
    is 14 inches (lenovo flex 3), window size needs to be large.

    sidenote: i hada laptop with 15.6 inch screen and 1366x768 resolution, that screen did NOT have an issue, as it was able to be set to 100% scaling, the default scaling for it, and not lose size.

    How can i fix this, or can microsoft eventually make an update for this? cause i know im not the only one

    Thanks!
