  1. what has happened to my desktop?


    I'm using a new HP AIO with 12th Gen i5, 8gb memory and 512SSDThis morning, when I turned-on my computer everything was normal. The desktop "snoozed" for non-use, normal.When I opened it again, my desktop is like it has a filter or sunscreen on it - everything is less than sharp and clear. see atch I've went to Settings and made some changes but that didn't help. I tried to reset my computer but couldn't download Win 11 - stayed at 30 for 4 minutes.I then posted a question on HP Community and no response. So, I'm hoping I'll get a response here.

    :)
