Some text are clear and some are blurry in my 1920 × 1080 laptop - windows 10

I brought brand new Lenevo Ideapack 310 laptop yesterday.Its configuration is:

  • Intel Core i5 7th generation, 2.5GHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 1TB HDD
  • NVIDIA GeForce 2GB
  • Full HD 1920 × 1080 monitor
  • Windows 10 Pro

My problem is that, sometimes, some windows are not properly clear and some windows are perfectly clear. I have searched in Google and I found it is a windows 10 DPI problem. But I really don't know how to solve this problem. I am worried about this because this is my brand new PC. How can I solve this problem? Should I reinstall windows 10 again?

set scaling to 100% (96dpi) or wait for Creators Update in April 2017, which has DPI scaling improvement for GDI programs – magicandre1981 – 2017-02-14T16:44:31.480

For Full HD displays in laptops/notebooks, Windows 8/10 use DPI scaling of 125% by default. And this can cause some blurry texts for applciation that are not DPIaware.

Do a rightclick on the desktop and select Display settings.

enter image description here

Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, select the DPI percentage of 100%.

enter image description here

If you run not DPIaware software, Windows will tell you a warning, that you have to log off. do this and logon again. Now you use 100% and the blurriness should be gone, but the text is smaller.

Yes its ok. But text is smaller than previous.Have any solution of it? – Chonchol Mahmud – 2017-02-16T04:10:45.327

as I said this happens. you need to decide if you want clear or larger text. For me 100% on my Laptop is better, because I have more space. – magicandre1981 – 2017-02-16T05:18:25.893

Do you know this issue is fixed or not in the next version of windows? Because small text is very small to see.It gives pressure on eyes.Thanks and appreciated. – Chonchol Mahmud – 2017-02-16T05:39:20.767
