    Hi, recently installed windows 11 onto a computer and the settings window is all out of whack see the image below. I have no idea what would be causing this aside from the fresh install, and would appreciate any pointers as to how to fix the issue, I have already tried shutting down and restarting my device.

    Windows Phone 8 devices send text messages with the wrong characters

    Yeah, the network+ in settings does not exist either.



    All text messages are sent in the English language. Also, within the text message, there are no characters sent with accents or emoji. See troubleshooting step 7 from the original post.

    Weird text outlining- Windows 10

    Hi,

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.


    • What is the exact issue that you’re facing with Windows 10?

    • What exactly do you mean by weird text outlining?

    • Are you facing any issue with applications?
    In the screenshot, I am unable to see any weird outlining. But if you are seeing any issue with the display then I suggest you to try installing all the pending Windows Updates and check for the issue. If the issue still persists then try changing
    the resolution and check.

    Thanks and regards.
