Windows 10 At least I solved something...

Hi

Ever since I got my new 3440 by 1440 monitor I've had a problem with some Photoshop Cursors being corrupted as well as the fact that many windows for older programs look kind of fuzzy because I have to set the default type size at 150% in order for it to be large enough to read.

I can live with the slightly fuzzy type in some applications but the messed up cursors in Photoshop are a pain.

After a week of trying things that were suggested by posters online at Adobe sites, like deleting the Prefs file or reinstalling Photoshop again, I finally found a suggestion that I would never have come up with on my own.

I changed the setting by setting the default type size to 150%, you only have a choice of every 25%.

But this post said that the problem was that it's set to 150%, which is what I need to easily read the type.

Well the answer was to set the default size back to 100%, and then go to another option window that lets you type in a custom size.
I did as suggested and set the size to 149%, and believe it or not, the cursor problem went away, and not only that the fuzzy type in some of the program windows cleared up!

Live and learn.

Mike

It's great that you were able to find a solution to the issue you were experiencing with the Photoshop cursors and fuzzy type in some applications on your new monitor. Sometimes, adjusting display settings like the scale of text and apps can have unexpected impacts on different software.
The workaround you applied by setting the custom size to 149% after adjusting back to 100% seems to have resolved the problems with the cursors and fuzzy text. This kind of fine-tuning in display settings can make a significant difference in how applications render on high-resolution monitors.
If you encounter any further display issues or need assistance with other settings, feel free to ask for help. It's always insightful to encounter unique solutions like the one you discovered.
