In this article, we are going to talk about a very annoying bug discovered in
Windows 11 DPI scaling settings.
Many Windows users use
custom DPI scaling on their displays to increase the size of all elements and font/text so that they can view and read everything easily in large size without hurting their eyes.
All Windows versions allow users to change DPI scaling level to increase the size of text, app windows, etc. If you also use custom DPI scaling in your Windows device, you might be aware of the fact that many times people face blurry text or fuzzy UI elements issues while using custom DPI scaling specially on high-DPI devices.
Today I discovered a weird and annoying bug in Windows 11’s built-in or predefined DPI scaling levels which can be selected from the drop-down list using Settings app.
Here is a quick summary of the bug before discussing in details:
If we select the built-in DPI scaling level (125%, 150%, 175%) using the drop-down box given in Windows 11 Settings app, some 3rd party apps start showing blurry text.
BUT
If we apply the same DPI scaling level such as 125% by manually entering the level number in “Custom Scaling” option present in Settings app, no 3rd party app show blurry text.
