Press your shift key 5 times.

This brings up a sticky keys prompt. Go through those accessiblity options make sure they are all off, including high contract display.

Reset the windows default font size to 75%, then back to 100%. Restart the system. Here's how to do the right way.

Open Display in Control Panel. On the Settings tab, click Advanced. On the General tab, in the DPI setting list, click the dots per inch (dpi) setting you want to use.

If you choose Other in the DPI setting list, you can set custom options in the Custom DPI Setting dialog box either by selecting one of the percentage options in the drop-down list or by clicking on the ruler and dragging the pointer to specify a setting. Restart your computer when prompted.
