Electron 2.0.x : extreme blur around the entire application (Windows 10) #51789
Comments
(Experimental duplicate detection) |
The granular image is from the GIF converter. The blur itself is the real image i see in front of me. |
@MeikTranel do you have |
This seems to be like a nightly Windows 10 build if I am not mistaken (https://changewindows.org/build/17686/pc) so maybe this should also get reported to Windows team. Does it reproduce with Chrome too? |
No. Havent seen this within chrome, yet. |
@MeikTranel @Mehgugs can you try out a bare Electron application to see if you see the blurriness too. Just download and run: https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v2.0.2/electron-v2.0.2-win32-x64.zip |
@MeikTranel @Mehgugs also if you are up for a little experiment:
|
@bpasero from what i'm seeing electron itself doesn't show any symptoms (the bare electron client really doesn't have that much to test with tho) Checking out the other thing now. BTW.: I updated to 17692 yesterday from 17686, so that i can play csgo again 😄 https://changewindows.org/build/redstone5/17692/pc |
@MeikTranel thanks. to test another application that is similar to VS Code and uses the same Electron version, can you try with Atom beta too: https://atom.io/beta |
I tested the electron srgb command line switch; Didn't help -___- |
Oh hell yeah, progress! Atom has the same issue @bpasero |
@MeikTranel good to know 👍. does it reproduce if you run
Yes |
--disable-gpu seems to mitigate it. |
@MeikTranel yes it does. What kind of GPU are you running with? |
@MeikTranel yes. From your original report this is what GPU features were enabled:
So one of these must be to blame. |
@bpasero this machine runs a GTX1080 and a 6700k (which comes integrated with a Intel® HD Graphics 530) |
@MeikTranel does it reproduce when no editor is opened and maybe only the explorer? Also, can you share your settings file with us? |

@bpasero by explorer you mean the vscode explorer? as in no code file open? As for the other question: I tested and reproduced it specifically without chrome or other apps related also with only vscode running. |
Tried it, the terminal doesn't work the language would not load ,,, gave up on that idea... |
oh yes , it's true, am lucky , i don't use vscode terminal in my projet. |
Just to notify. Visual Studio Live Share gets damaged if you change the compatibility mode. Besides, the issue is not triggered while coding or edit some settings/preferences. But, if you use continously the extension block (To install something), then the blurry appears. In the meantime, to avoid everything you should open vscode with gpu acceleration disabled. |
In my case it is blurry while in the editor only when the mouse is in the panel ON the text is it not. And GPU disabled does not work completely. Unless something else is going on here, after a time it begins to blur again for me |
I will try to confirm this on my machine later today and then update the electron issue if this proves to be related. |
this seem a issue for many engine with shadder. |
After an hour of testing @djmisterjon 's fix is the most effective. It appears to have worked here (so far) thank you. |
@ripvannwinkler It looks like you set the global setting, try adding settings for |
It doesn't matter. Off is off, whether it's for one app or the whole system. |
@ripvannwinkler Also try to disable or play with other anti-aliasing setting if this dont help you. |
I can verify that 2 options for temporarily resolving the issue at hand:
I will pass this onto the guys at electron in electron/electron#13646 |
I did end up disabling FXAA for VS Code specifically as opposed to the global setting and have not seen any blurry text since (4+ hours of coding since last reported). It appears disabling FXAA for VS Code specifically is in fact a workable solution. |
I just realized that if I start VS Code via Command line (cmd => code) I don't have this problem at all. When I start VS Code via shortcut in the Start Menu it is back again. What I also noticed is, that when I start via cmd the NVidia Experience Overlay Popup on the top right appears, which indicates that Nvidia recognized this application to be GPU accelerated. This doesn't happen when I start VS Code via start menu. And then I noticed, that I have two installations of VS-Code. One User one System. When I enter "code" in the command line the "system installation" is started, from the start menu the user installation is started. |
Can confirm as of VS Code 1.30.1, Win 10.0.17763 and GeForce 960 with the latest drivers: |
Got a new laptop with a 1060 and intel integrated graphics, and the blurriness happened to me too. It's not vs code, because the blurriness also happens on edex-ui, another electron project. However, after reading this thread, I turned off FXAA like @gabaruga did in Nvidia Control panel, and now both edex-ui and vs code work perfectly. Help info:
|
if you are run vs-code on mac-os, please run npm install electron -g ,it will solve your problem |
Closing this issue given that we plan to release VSCode stable early February with Electron 3.x. If you want to benefit from the fix already, consider to use our insiders version that already contains the fix: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/ |

All views and their text is super blurred to the point that it makes things mostly unusable.
