Microsoft noted that one notable issue involves blurry or unclear CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text when displayed at 96 DPI (100% scaling) in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

This issue is due to limited pixel density at 96 DPI, which can reduce the clarity and alignment of CJK characters. As a temporary workaround, users are advised to increase their display scaling to 125% or 150% to improve text clarity
