    win 10 blurry text/screen - new laptop


    hey,


    i have a new win10 laptop, and i have a issue of blurry text/screen when i set screen to 125%.
    i have 2 graphic cards - nvidia and intel, i already set the nvidia default in the nvidia control panel to be the main gpu.
    when its on 100% its works great but in the screen settings it is show to me that 100% its not recommended. only the 125% recommended, i tried to set custom dpi 125% didn't work, reinstall graphic cards/reinstall the windows and more many options.
    by the way i tried to set custom dpi 125 and in screen settings put 125% also and its works fine but it show to me its display on 175%.
    now its on 100% but not recommended but its works fine.
    its really confused what its should be to best display.

    there is a few screenshots of the current settings 100% display,

    when i change to 125% in this settings everything become blur,

    but if i put on the custom dpi 125% also its good but its show me as 175%






    Thanks!

    :)

    Blurry text and icons in windows 10 after upgrade from 8.1

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Updated my graphics card driver and display also. Issue is still there.

    I assumed that problem may be with data migration from win 8.1 to win 10 for that particular account. I don't know how to update the Microsoft account (@live.com)

    So finally I've signed out and deleted the local account in the laptop and created a fresh user. Blurry text and icons are gone. My on screen keyboard is also nice. Updated all the apps from Store freshly.

    No blurry text & Icons.

    Thank you.

    This is a common issue when using higher screen magnification. Find the .exe file for the offending program (as an Administrator), right click the file, select Properties / Compatibility / Change settings for all users then tick the box for "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" then Apply. There are some Windows utilities e.g. Event Viewer which you can't fix. We can only hope MS listens to feedback and provides a solution.

    This fix applies to standard programs, not the fancy W10 Apps. If using the Start Menu - to find the program, select all apps, right click on the program, More, Open File Location. Then right click on the shortcut, select Properties / Shortcut and under target you should find the .exe file location. You can also peruse the c:\program files & c:\program files (x86) folders to find the .exe file if you know what you are looking for.

    that would be your problem. It is the display driver that manages what is on the screen, not the program. If you are using a flatscreen and have it set for a very high resolution, suggest that you change the resolution to something lower, so that you do not have to use a Magnifying glass.

    The larger the dpi, the worse that anything on the screen will appear.

    I solved the blurry text problem on most programs at 125% dpi by using the disable dpi fix above. There are some MS utilities e.g. Event Viewer which can't be fixed this way. Hopefully MS will fix the problem?

    Not a Microsoft or Windows problem. The problem is with people trying to use the Native settings for a large flat screen or a projector. You have to set your resolution down to say 1024x768. Also turning off all fancy settings like Motion, Auto Contrast, etc, along with Overscan, can fix things.

    The Display Driver for the GPU is what handles the display, not Windows. If you do not have the proper display driver from the chipset manufacturer loaded, you will get a very basic set of settings. It is always best to install the GPU software that allows you to adjust the extra settings to make the image cleaner on a large screen.

    I see this problem on 2 PCs with all GPU drivers up to date. I still think it's a bug for MS utilities and poor program design in other applications.

    Hi,
    Did you Adjusted the "Calibrate Color" and "Clear Type" settings?
    If not, you may want to try it first.
    Also on Intel HD Graphics Control Panel you may want to try to Adjust the Gamma Correction, the Default Setting is too High for my eyes.
    I prefer to have it to 0,7.
