Resolution on some programs blurry

I'm able to right click on some programs, and go to properties, compatibility, and check the "reduce DPI scaling button," but for other programs it doesn't work. Isn't there just a way to fix this for all programs using some option? Because right clicking every program and doing it isn't that convenient.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 7547 with Intel HD Graphics and i7 processor

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us!

Kindly try the following steps and check if it works.

o Change DPI Scaling Level Per Display in Settings app

1. Do step 2 or step 3 below for what you would like to open Display in Settings.

2. Open Settings, click/tap on the System icon, and go to step 4 below.

3. Right click or press and hold on your desktop, click/tap on Display, and go to step 3 below. (see screenshot below)
4. Click/tap on Display on the left side. (see screenshot below step 7)

5. If you have more than one display connected to your PC, then select a displayat the top on the right side that you want to change the DPI of.
 Note
If all your displays are not shown, then click/tap on the Detect link to see if Windows can find it.

If you are not sure which display belongs to what number, then you can click/tap on the Identify link to have each display's number briefly appear on each display to see.
6. Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, move the slider left or right to the DPI percentage you want to set for that display. This setting is stored as the DpiValue DWORD data value in a long subkey per display in the registry location below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\PerMonitorSettings
7. When finished, click/tap on Sign out now to fully apply.
Thanks 
Robin

I'm on 125%

If I adjust to 150% it's too blurry, if I adjust to 100% everythig is so small.

If this is a QHD (ultra high resolution) panel, you may need to update or upgrade the applications in question -- or replace them with alternatives.  Many programs do not support the ultra resolution screens or display scaling.
