Some 3rd party apps become blurry, I don't even know how to google this.

https://imgur.com/gallery/3d08ZYe I noticed this happening after I recently made a new PC build with a fresh copy of Windows 11 about 20 days ago. It seems to only happen to 3rd party apps I downloaded to configure my PC components. It does not happen to chrome or windows paint. It seems to only happen with my lian li software L connect 3, NZXT CAM and Cricut design space. I can make the blurry text stop by closing the program but then it snaps back to being blurry. I took a screen shot to include my browser to compare the text "Search Google or type in URL" Thanks for any help. Ive reached out for help on reddit and a few folks have said to try text scaling, but that did not help. I have 2 different monitors with different resolutions and it does it on both. When its blurry and I click inside the app, like NZXT cam, it becomes clear again. Its like its out of focus until I click it. Thanks!

do you have an intel cpu?

i heard somewhere that some setting on intel cpus makes it like this, optimised for games but bad for anything else

no idea then, maybe try disablig hardware acceleration? or check compatibility settings in properties

It is a long shot, but it windows UI scaling can play a role too.

Yeah, I have 4k display set to 125% scaling in windows, now and then I come over programs that is blurry because they don't handle it well.

 

Fix/workarounds for that is to find the .exe and change its setting to force either the program or windows deal with scaling instead of default, whatever works best. I think you can also make a program ignore scaling.
