Is there a question to go with those answers, Microsoft?
Incidentally, note how blurry everything but the window title is. That's because not even Microsoft is capable of producing software that correctly handles DPI scaling...

Oh, more bonus points for not actually being an installer but rather a downloader that doesn't tell you any of the information a downloader should tell you, i.e. the download speed, data downloaded, data remaining, ETA. You know, all the fancy stuff my damn browser already has... is the deal with those things nowadays anyway?

What is this DPI scaling issue, and how am I consistently avoiding it?

I guess your monitor doesn't have a ridiculously high pixel density, forcing you to use DPI scaling >100% to be able to actually read anything.

If so, shouldn't it be called BlurryType?

@Deadfast Is 'your' privacy still a thing? Last I heard, it didn't exist kind of like Jesus or Leprechauns. All you have to do these days is walk past an iPhone or a computer and you are done.

Nope! My face is only 13" from the screen is all!

It would be nice if that was actually the problem. If it were, fixing it would give awesomely good text rendering. says it isn'tā¦

Well, you could put your desktop at half resolution, and use fullscreen when you play games with the correct resolution, letting your graphics card do it right.

Because LCD screens produce a really sharp image in non-native resolutions?

Is it any worse than what you're doing now? :P

@xaade WOMM, then again I don't have a monitor with a silly DPI, my eyeballs are fine with good old 1080p on 24''.

If the pixels fit neatly, as they would at half resolution, it should be ok. But subpixel effects like ClearType wouldn't work in that case.
