Have you tried restart Explorer.exe and see if the issue resolve itself? https://www.howtogeek.com/198815/use-this-secret-trick-to-close-and-restart-explorerexe-in-windows/

This is when you are at 200% scale? If so, try to turn it down to 150%, and restart explorer.exe and see if the issue resolved.

Thank you,

Not really sure on this statement, what do you mean by that?

Dear Basj,

 

when i use my Microsoft surface, it works fine.  When i use also an attached 4K monitor with 100% scale, the problem with the font is there. When i change the Scale to 150% or 200% on the attached Monitor it will be a littel bit better, but as far not so good like the font by using only the surface without the attched Monitor.
Clear now?

  • When you using MS surface at 100% alone without any external monitor it work, yes?

  • When you connect external 4K monitor  with 100% scale as extended monitor to the MS Surface main display or as a duplicate to the main display?

Answer:  YES

It´s extended monitor (same Setup like with fence v3)

So when you plug in the extended monitor, all the Fences move from your main monitor to the extended monitor?
