Updates!

I spend extra cash on a hi-res display - what do Windows do make it go all fuzzy when I log in - why?
It's also about time they learnt to count, the updates install and up comes the message "100 % complete" - what happens next? I wait another 5 minutes before I can use the PC therefore it's not "100%" complete. Very frustrating.

Hi Lewis,

first off, the updates always take their time due mostly to the MS anti virus tool scans running in the background after it updates!.

Download Malicious Software Removal Tool 64-bit from Official Microsoft Download Center

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) helps keep Windows computers free from prevalent malware. MSRT finds and removes threats and reverses the changes made by these threats. MSRT is generally released monthly as part of Windows Update or as a standalone tool available here for download.

Second, if your hi-res display is giving you problems, check in Settings > System > Display and check that your settings are set to "Recommended"!.

your fuzzy screen, does it look like this?

then you might want to do this:

That should take care of the fuzziness....

He means the blurry lock screen @Wolfie that came with 1909. There is a way to fix that. It requires an edit to the group policy editor, if you have the pro version. Or a registry edit if you have the home version. Or as Grizzly posted, you can turn off transparency effects.

Yeah I don't like the fuzzy login background either. But it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it.

It seems that the display driver is not compatible with the hardware.
Follow these steps to update the driver for that Hi-res monitor and you are good to go:

1. In the search box on the taskbar, enter the device manager, then select Device Manager.
2. Select a category to see names of devices, then right-click (or press and hold) the one you'd like to update.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Select Update Driver.

Turning off the transparency did it for me
