| + | ===== Screen resolution and other compatibility problems ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The content of some application windows may appear blurry, and the screen size determined by the application may be smaller than the actual screen size. This is because some applications don't use the information supplied by Windows 10 on high resolution screens, and the apparent screen size depends on the scaling factor selected in Display parameters (when you right click on the desktop, the default scaling factor is 150%). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Check the [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/windows-make-older-programs-compatible|Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows]] page for help ([[https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/15078/windows-make-older-programs-compatible|French version]]) | ||

| + | ==== VcXsrv X server ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the case of VcXsrv, if the scaling factor is 150%, and the actual screen size is ''W x H'', VcXsrv thinks that the screen size is only ''(W/1.5) x (H/1.5)''. Type ''xdpyinfo | grep dimensions'' to get the screen size //seen// by the X server | ||
| + | |||
| + | Solution: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - right-click on the **VcXsrv** executable (or the shortcut on the desktop) | ||
| + | - click on ''Properties'' | ||
| + | - click on ''Compatibility'' | ||
| + | - click on ''Change high DPI settings'' | ||
| + | - in the top panel (''Program DPI'') select ''Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program'' and then ''(when) I open this program'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Task Manager ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some information about processes you may see running (with high CPU usage) in the Task Manager | ||
| + | |||
| + | * ''wsappx'': this process runs when windows installs programs or check for updates (e.g. updates of programs from the Microsoft Store) | ||
