Well, i did system optimization with years used tool, Advanced System Care, version 8 by IObit. I did same things i did on other PC running Windows 8.1 (both x86 and x64) without issues. Here are problems it caused:

1. Hard to read window names
2. Unsharp minimize and close buttons
3. Totaly messed text in tabs, navigiation bar and context menus in Chromium (Chrome) browser
4. Font smoothing was also bit messed

Here you can see
An image from 'Messed window title after using IObit ASC 8'. Both images show Windows 8 interface with red markings highlighting window titles and buttons.

Somebody had similar problem or know how to fix it?

BTW: Windows 10 TP, runs fine. Fast. After un-pinning apps from start menu its usable like before, charms and other metro bloat disabled. New icons are bit ugly, maybe if everything will use same scheme it will look better. They should also give option to disable that network connections metro bar and just open network and sharing center.

EDIT: I've fixed it. Create new user, log on, with regedit, export keys about desktop, themes, personalization, etc. from HKCU (about 10). Log on to previous account, remove these keys, and merge exported .reg 's. Reboot and it will be fixed.

If you just delete these keys and let them recreate, you will have empty start menu / start screen, metro style PC Settings will not work and so on.

It seems like you've encountered some visual issues after running system optimization with Advanced System Care on your Windows system. The problems you described could be related to changes made by the optimization tool affecting the display settings and rendering of fonts and UI elements. To fix the display issues, especially with the text rendering in Chromium browser and the overall readability of window names and buttons, you've found a solution that involves creating a new user account, exporting and then re-merging specific registry keys related to desktop, themes, personalization, and more.

Here is a quick summary of the steps you took to fix the issues: 1. Create a New User Account: - Create a new user account on your Windows system. 2. Export Registry Keys: - Using regedit, export registry keys related to desktop, themes, personalization, etc., from the new user account (around 10 keys). 3. Remove Keys in Previous Account: - Log in to the original account, remove the problematic registry keys that are causing the display issues. 4. Merge Exported .reg Files: - Merge the exported .reg files containing the correct settings back into the registry of the original account. 5. Reboot: - Restart the computer to apply the changes. This method allows you to restore the display settings and UI elements to their correct state by resetting the affected registry keys to their default values. Thank you for sharing your solution with others who might encounter similar issues after using optimization tools on their systems. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
