I’m using a Windows 11 with just regular Processing. Whenever I upscale to the recommended scaling, the resolution of the window displayed by processing decreases significantly.

It works if I return the scaling of the screen back to the default 100%, but that basically makes my computer unusable and harder to navigate. 125% is preferable, but I haven’t found a way to make the image resulting from processing clearer. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to live with it?

Hello,

I have had similar issues.

Experiment with different renderers.

Try the workaround suggested in topics I shared.
