    High DPI scaling issue - even "properties" occurs blurry


    I recently purchased a laptop running windows 10. It has the latest updates, and both scaling and resolution are set to windows recommended (150% and 1920x1080), but still even windows' inherent popups are blurry (images are attached).
    Please guide me as to how to fix this issue

    Hi Himanshosood and welcome to the Forum,
    This is common issue with the scaling in Windows 10, still not fixed. I had all the Device manager, Disk management, Event viewer and uTorrent very blurred after many clean instalations.
    The solution is: Settings - System - Display - Advanced scaling settings - type 125 - Apply - Restart . Worked for me since Anniversary Update Good luck...

    @Ivan
    Setting the scale to 125% does seem to somewhat solve the issue. However content appears smaller than it should :/
    After looking up at various places, I found out that this feature is still a work in progress as you said. I hope they fix this soon. I'm still looking forward to any workarounds someone has discovered in the meanwhile

    If I may, for the "Setting the scale to 125% does seem to somewhat solve the issue. However content appears smaller than it should" part, I'd try a different resolution such as 1440x900, should make things a bit larger.
