HP Pavilion All-in-One - 24-r052no

Hi, I have restarted my PC, now the text in Edge and Chrome is very faint, no sharpness. Have looked for an update-found none. Have been to "INTEL" there it shows that hp has blocked the update! Tip Thanks.

Hi @dette2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

When text in Edge and Chrome suddenly looks faint or blurry after a restart, it’s usually related to display scaling, ClearType settings, or outdated graphics drivers. Since you mentioned HP has blocked Intel’s generic update, that means your PC uses HP-customized Intel graphics drivers, which is normal for All-in-One systems.

Here’s How to Fix It

1. Enable ClearType Text

  • Press Win + S, type ClearType, and select Adjust ClearType text.
  • Make sure Turn on ClearType is checked.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to fine-tune text sharpness.


2. Check Display Scaling

  • Right-click the desktop → Display settings.
  • Under Scale and layout, set scaling to 100% or 125% (avoid custom values).
  • Log out and back in.


3. Update Graphics Driver (HP Version)

(HP blocks Intel’s generic drivers because the All-in-One uses custom power and thermal profiles.)


4. Disable Hardware Acceleration in Browsers

  • In Edge or Chrome:  
    • Go to Settings > System and Performance.
    • Turn off Use hardware acceleration when available.
    • Restart the browser.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
