Step-by-Step Fix

1

Change DPI Scaling

Right-click icon > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Override.

2

Run ClearType Tuner

Search "ClearType" in Windows to optimize text rendering.

Check Resolution

Ensure your monitor is set to its "Native" resolution.

When to See a Technician

Older apps often don't support "4K" scaling and need manual DPI overrides to look sharp.
