Three Tested Solutions to Remote Desktop Blurry

How do I fix a blurry screen in Remote Desktop?

“When I use Remote Desktop from Windows 10 to access my office computer running Windows Server 2012 R2, the font is so blurry that it is practically impossible to read, let alone work. I really need a remote desktop to complete my work very frequently, so can anyone help me with this problem?”

Three solutions to Remote Desktop blurry

It is quite annoying when you remotely control another computer via Remote Desktop but only find the screen is blurry. Here in this post, we provide you with three solutions to Remote Desktop blurry.

Solution 1. Change the display resolution

Reducing the remote desktop resolution might solve the problem. If your Windows 10 monitor is 2560x1440, connecting at this resolution will make the font blurry when the remote host is a Windows Server 2012 R2. Therefore, you can change the screen resolution of Remote Desktop to solve the problem.

Step 2. Go to the Display tab, move the slider under Display configuration to a lower resolution, then click Connect.

Solution 2. Check Font smoothing

Another cause of the problem might be that Font Smoothing is disabled. Therefore, you can fix the problem by enabling it.

Open Remote Desktop Connection, and click Show Options. After entering the IP address and user name of the host computer, go to the Experience tab, check Font smoothing and then click Connect.

Solution 3. Turn off Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing

The cause of the problem may also be the anti-aliasing setting of the graphics card. Therefore, if you’re facing this problem, the solution is to disable the anti-aliasing setting in the graphics card settings.

Step 2. In the Intel HD Graphics Settings window, click the 3D section.
