I'm not sure this is a hardware issue, but it might have to be. I haven't always had this issue at work. On certain websites, text is almost totally unreadable because itmsedge_XOW9QZlzgV.thumb.png.63d3039854dbb91b83ce3cc7059817f7.png is so light. I'm using Edge Insider Beta, and tried Chrome and Firefox and all 3 do it. ANyone know what might be going on?

If all 3 browsers are doing it then I would look at the display drivers, check if there is an update. Barring that, maybe its an Windows Accessibly setting, or clear type I think it's called?

Can you take a look at the CSS and see what font(s) the site is using? I wonder if the site is using a font that's not on your system and they aren't sending the font info to the browser and Windows is doing it's best to find a match.

It's not just that website. It's weird. I went on another computer in the office with the same widescreen display and it looked fine. I'm looking at a few of the pages on my home PC and it's fine too. I installed the nVidia P400 driver and it didn't make any difference.

There a difference between Window versions? Between work and home?

    • Intel vs AMD? Microsoft seemingly has a clear recommendation for Windows 11 Pro PC upgrade

      By +sphbecker · Posted

      vPro is the hardware that a number of software packages use. A lot of the first party management tools from Dell, HP, and Lenovo use vPro. Having said all that, it is kind of a nothing burger. Promised a lot, but doesn't really do much for most people.

      How about an AI generated weekly wrap-up of all AI news. I skim over articles about which AI claims to have a bigger 'brains' this week (or even today), and it changes too often to even consider it worth remembering.

      Or…because it makes it obvious what they are referring to. Imagine if Microsoft called it Visual Studio 22.
