Windows 10 UI is blurry and low quality after changing resolution (READ please)
I have tried looking for a solution everywhere, I can't find one. So I was playing Skyrim and I download bunch of mods that make it look good, and I wanted to see what it looks like at 1920x1080, but then it started lagging so I put it back to normal, which is 1360x768, everything went blurry, It basically looks like what you'd see with bad eye sight (If you have really bad eye sight, you will know what I mean). It basically looks low quality and pixelated, the pixels on the edge are very visible, it's actually hurting my eyes.
Yes, the scale is 100%, I have reinstalled drivers, I have cleared cache and icon cache, restarted many times, messing with resolutions but it's not changing back, it's done this before but the fix was actually reinstalling Windows, please help, I don't want to reinstall.

Does this happen in anything else other than Skyrim?

Did you enable 4k rez on a 1080 p monitor?

It's happening in the entirety of Windows 10, windows explorer, browsers, looking at pictures, it doesn't seem to affect the games, not that I can see.

How do I do that? I'm not sure I did that. All I did was change the resolution from 1360x768 to 1920x1080 and then back again. I did the same for Skyrim to (so I could actually see, it would look weird if I had my desktop at 1360x768 and skyrim 1920x1080 and vice versa)

What is the native resolution of your monitor/display?

1080 means your faking that rez on a 768 monitor, hence the blurryness
Its called downsampling

But I've put everything back to 768? Shouldn't it go back to normal? Just to be clear, this doesn't happen ingame, it's happening on the actual UI of windows 10 (Just in case I thought you mean't making Skyrim 1080 and making my actual res 768, both are 768 now)

DUnno what to tell you, I fake 4k and its a little blury but great image quality. Restarting should fix icon sizes and all that. I would need to be physically in front of your rig to diagnose this

Or you could have screwed up monitor by forcing the real 1080 on that monitor without the "Fake" downsampled verision

Are you using VGA connection?

Format for what? It's a setting, just change it, simple as that.

HDMI, it's not as simple as changing the resolution, as stated above, I have tried a lot of solutions already, It just literally never gets back to normal unless I reinstall Windows as a whole.
