Windows 10: Windows 'out of focus' or 'fuzzy' edges

I recently installed Warcraft III and the first time I opened the program my monitors resolution changed to the default one in the game (1280 × 720 I believe).

After exiting Warcraft III, I noticed my windows now looked off, everything is out of focus, which is more noticeable on text and small icons.

If I look at the screen closely, there is a very clear 'haze' across text and borders/edges.

This is visible on everything but Warcraft III, including other games that are full screen.


To try and get the 'crisp' look back I have;


Changed resolutions,

Changed 'Scale and layout' to every option and back again in Windows settings > Display,

Tried "Fix scaling for apps",

Adjusted ClearType text,

Done a complete uninstall and fresh install of display drivers,

Uninstalled, reinstalled monitor driver in device manager,

Uninstalled Warcraft III,


The only thing left to try is to reinstall Windows, which I'd prefer not to do.


My system;

BenQ G2420GDB

Radeon R9 380

Intel i7-2600K

Edge - new tab focus behavior

Is there a way to let Edge focus on the address bar once I open a new tab?

I experience the following behavior:

1. Open Edge
   
2. Ctrl + t (new tab)
   
3. Type e.g. www.myfavouriteaddress.com
   

Issue: The typing is ignored since the focus is not on the address bar.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything. Microsoft didn't answer on that.

I know I work around it like that, but I'm looking for a setting which let me change the default Ctrl + t behavior:

1. Open Edge
   
2. Ctrl + t (new tab)
   
3. Ctrl + l (focus on address bar)
   
4. Type e.g. www.myfavouriteaddress.com
   

Environment

• Microsoft Edge 38.14393.2068.0
  
• Windows 10 Enterprise

I found suggestion on MS forums that could work. Did you tried this?
