Change Manifest file to avoid blur in Windows 10

Post by Ivan Denisov »

There is known trouble in Window 10.

https://forum.oberoncore.ru/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6393

I found one solution from the article https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-fix-app ... -displays/

Code: Select all

<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">True</dpiAware>
Fyodor Tkachev said, that this solution is working well.

So I suggest to change Manifest file to this.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
  xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
  manifestVersion="1.0"
>
  <dependency>
      <dependentAssembly>
          <assemblyIdentity
              type="win32"
              name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
              version="6.0.0.0"
              processorArchitecture="x86"
              publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
              language="*"
          />
      </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
 <application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <windowsSettings>
      <dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">True</dpiAware>
    </windowsSettings>
  </application>
</assembly>

Interesting observation!
Here is some background info on that topic.

Usually such settings tend to have unwanted effects in other situations.
My question is if there are any known unwanted effects with the proposed change.
