Fixing Blurry or Distorted Text on Windows
Windows uses a feature called DPI scaling to adjust the appearance of text and interface elements on screens with different pixel densities.
When DPI scaling is not applied correctly, text and visuals may appear blurry or distorted, often due to outdated rendering methods or lack of DPI awareness in certain applications.
- Resolution changes
- Remote desktop sessions
- GPU driver updates that reset display scaling preferences
In most cases, correcting the DPI and scaling configuration, resetting the display driver, or using ClearType text tuning can restore proper sharpness across all applications.
An unstable or loose power connection can also cause this issue.
Correcting the DPI and scaling configuration often resolves the problem.
