    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.
