Step-by-Step Fix

1

Adjust ClearType

Search "Adjust ClearType text" in Windows and follow the wizard.

2

Override High DPI Scaling

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

Check App Scaling

Some apps have their own "Zoom" or "Scale" setting separate from Windows.

When to See a Technician

Legacy apps often don't support 4K monitors and require "System (Enhanced)" scaling to look sharp.
