Windows 10: Windows Custom Color crashes the Settings app when using custom display scaling

Hi.


I have a problem with custom color on Windows 10. Every time I try to set the custom color, the whole Settings app crashes. It happens only when I use a custom display scaling, not the default. But using custom scaling is very important to me (the default options are either too small or too big). Also the problem has not been there from the beginning, for a long while all worked perfectly. Not anymore, though. Is there a fix for this?

After changing Custom scaling in the Display settings, the display is fuzzy or unreadable

Hi Jestoni,

If the text looks fuzzy or blurry when you use custom scaling, this might happen if the custom size is not set to a 25% increment. For example, if your custom scaling is set to 157%, try changing it to 150% or 175%.

If you use custom scaling and now you’re not able to read the screen well enough to restore your display settings, try starting Narrator by pressing the Windows logo key + Enter. Then press Tab to navigate through the interface until you find the right option
for restoring your display settings.

Regards.
