On Win7 I use scaling of 125% and that was enough to cover all my needs. However, on Win10, I had to up it to 135% to even barely match the scale factor. But the issue is that since it works differently it is partially broken for me. There are a few glaring issues at hand:


1. Blurry text in old windows elements like MMC.

2. Unscaled text in some cases, for example dialogue windows, like, when you import some .reg file and a warning pops-up - the text is INCREDIBLY small for 135% scale, but the window itself is scaled an there is plenty of space of bigger font size.

I could not find any way fix the 2). I tried using solutions that enable old Win8.1 scaling (like Windows 10 DPI blurry / fuzzy text font fix - XP Explorer) but still to no avail.


Is there some other aspects of scaling I'm missing that can help me bring it closer to Windows XP/7 style? My eyesight is incredibly poor.
