Several users may have problems with Windows 10’s display functions. For starters, many texts, icon, and window decorations are difficult to read on high-resolution displays because they blur. Second, some desktop icons do not resize properly on high-resolution displays. When you have a screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or above, the issue arises.
