Windows 10: Windows 10 DPI-Awareness issues, blurry text 125%

Hi,
I don't know if it has been asked before but I have had issues that I can reproduce on both my laptop and desktop, with DPI scaling.

Applications like Device Manager would scale fine in 8.1, but in 10 the text is stretched. At 125% the text is blurry, and at 200% it is clear that text occupies double the pixels.

That is at 125%

:)

Solved it for me as I have a 19280 X 1080 screen and like to keep my scaling at 125% so that the text is big enough to read without squinting. Why Microsoft changed the way scaling is done in 10 as opposed to what it was in 8.1 is "not clear" to me...
Ha. Let me know if this works.

 

Blurry text in Windows

Hi,

Thanks Jessen, for responding, unfortunately it had no effect.

I can see that this issue is widely discussed in the web:

Windows 10 DPI-Awareness issues, blurry text 125% - Windows 10 Forums

Windows 10 Feature Focus: Display Scaling - Thurrott.com

Blurry text Solved - Page 5 - Windows 10 Forums

There is also an article about in on Microsoft page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2900023 - is this the same issue that i am having?

These threads seem to contain some workarounds but what is the proper recommended Microsoft way to fix this issue?

Also, when will there be an official fix for high DPI displays?

Regards

 

I have the same problem,
When I use dpi scaling of 125%, texts in desktop applications are fine but texts in apps like chrome get blurry. However, When I use dpi scaling of 150%, the opposite happens *Mad

Someone please tell the solution...

 

I have the exact same problem. WIndows 8.1 everything scaled just fine. 10 screwed something up big time. Using 100% DPI is not an option for me because on 25", 1440p looks really small.

 

Same problem here, and it's discussed on this topic as well: Blurry text - Windows 10 Forums

 

It's the video driver and maybe Windows not working together that creates blurry text, we've been through this before for anyone who upgraded to Windows 8.1 upon first release from Windows 7/8; give it a month or two for it to be fixed with newer video drivers and Windows 10 patches.

 

Same problem here!

I had that problem before when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and I fixed it by changing the scaling options to "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" and changing it to 125%.

After upgrading to Windows 10, I can't find the "Let me choose..." setting!

 

I have the same issue with an nvidia video card. I found that turning off scaling in the nvidia control panel helps somewhat.

 

I've searched through the web and I found this great tool that fixed the blurry text that I had after changing my scale to 125% in Windows 10.

Simply download the file from the following page, run it and and choose the Windows 8.1 DPI scaling option and the required scaling level and then restart your computer/laptop.

Have a great day *Smile

 

Fixes my issue! That's what I expect. I really appreciate you HazemZidane. Thank you!

 

Excellent tool, thanks HazemZidane.

 

Windows 10 DPI Fix fixed the blurry text problem. Thanks. But I found out just now that scanned images (scanned old newspaper articles in Korean) look too fuzzy to read. They looked crisp in Windows 7.

 

Windows defender malware alert. Do not download!
I really dont care what they state on their website...according to whitelisting, its plain too risky
to take chances.

 

No need to spread false rumours. If Windows Defender throws an alert, it hardly means it is malware for sure. This has already been used, tested and is 100% safe. You are way more in danger by using Windows Defender...
