Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in XmlNotepad on Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2 with a 3840x2400 display at 250% scaling, comparing application and system compatibility scaling. Trace the desktop rendering path to identify why text is unsharp under application scaling. Done means text is readable at the reported resolution and scaling without requiring the compatibility workaround.

Description

Hi

Text is not very readable on 3840x2400 pixel screen with 250% dpi scaling.
It is better if I switch from application to system scaling in compatibility settings.
