Victus 15 problem with some applications of window

[Imbrix]

Greetings. Some application windows on my laptop are blurry for some reason. This is solved by changing the zoom, but I wouldn't want to change it. Are there any other options? All drivers are updated. For example this window of Steam installation is blurred for meBlurry window of Steam installation

Hi @Imbrix,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Blurry application windows on your HP Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 are often related to display scaling issues or compatibility settings. Here are some solutions you can try to fix blurry windows without having to adjust zoom settings:

• Set Custom DPI Settings:
  1. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
  2. Under Scale and layout, select a different scaling percentage (e.g., 100%, 125%, 150%) and see if this resolves the blurriness.

3. Disable Display Scaling for All Applications

• Apply Global Settings:
  1. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
  2. Scroll down to Advanced scaling settings.
