If you change the DPI scaling to make text, apps and other items easier to read on your Windows device, you may have encountered the problem of blurry fonts in Windows 10.

The issue is caused by Microsoft using a different scaling method to the one it used in previous versions of Windows (stretching back to Vista), and mostly affects the Windows font and dialog boxes.

If you have a very high res monitor, and like to boost scaling to make everything more readable this can be a frustrating problem (I speak from experience). Fortunately it’s easy to change the scaling method back to the one Microsoft used in past Windows versions.

While you can make the required change in the registry, Windows automatically resets your DPI settings every two reboots, so you’d need to keep repeating the change. The better option therefore is to use XPExplorer’s Windows 10 DPI Fix.

Just run the program and choose the scaling method you require (Windows 10 default, or Windows 8.1 scaling). You’ll need to reboot your PC for the change to take effect.

In Windows 10, almost every app which works with user files, is able to show the Open dialog and the Save as dialog. These two dialogs look quite similar, but each has its own purpose, as is clear from their names. The Open dialog allows the user to pick a file or folder. The Save dialog lets the user choose a destination folder and the name of a file to save.

Windows is able to save the settings of the Open and Save dialogs, so the next time you open them, they will look exactly the same as the last time you used them. Windows can remember the dialog size, the view settings, and the last browsed location (for some apps, this feature is not supported). If your Open or Save as dialog is messed up, you can try to reset it.

In Windows 10, the Open and Save as dialog parameters are stored under the following Registry keys:

For classic dialogs:
