XYplorer Beta Club
After the Windows Update this week (to Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1909 Build 18363.1500) the fonts in XYplorer are distorted - see attachment.
I've tried zooming up with CTRL-wheel, and they get bigger but remain distorted.
I changed the defaults to Calibri and Consolas and it didn't help either.
Note the menu bar is normal but the XYplorer windows are affected.
Font Corruption or distortion?

How does it look in Light Mode (non dark)?

Re: Font Corruption or distortion?
I found the solution. In a previous post last week, I had a problem with display scale factor.
The recommendation was:
This week, I'm back at my desk with an external primary monitory with 100% scale factor.
XYplorer worked fine when re-docking and adding the external display.
But after restarting the computer for a Windows Update, the font problem appeared.
I went back and undid those exe setting changes, and the font problem was resolved.
The recommendation was:
That worked while the system was away from my desk and used only with the notebook internal display with 200% scale factor.The best I can offer is (for Win10):
- right-click XYplorer.exe
- turn on "Override high dpi scaling" and set to "System Enhanced"

It's 100% a Windows bug, and with a little less percentage they might even fix it.
