Windows 10: Text is too small for some apps, scale is good, reseting driver does not fix. [Solution]

Hi! This seems to be a common issue which has plagued me days from Windows 10 and now on Windows 11. I just found a way to fix it and doing it for folks in the future who encounter the same issue. The issue is defined here:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/text-is-too-small-for-some-apps-but-scaling-is/27929f41-86dc-485b-9856-90f3171cf8d6I had the same problem. I did everything by the booksReinstall driver - do in safe mode etc. Nvidia/AMD/Intel - it will be issues in both situationChange the 'scale' - as high lighted in the in the thread above, it does not fix the issue we

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



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:

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!

 

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
