Windows suddenly passing out in middle of the day is normal windows behavior though.

  Windows is so broken that Windows users just assume that that's how all software is. No amount of complaining or bug reporting will ever get Microsoft to fix a problem, so why bother at all? I'm not even kidding, this is what software has become for the common layperson.

    2000 called and it wants its meme back. Modern Windows is pretty resilient. I've had a Windows 10 install going for three years that hasn't BSODed, force-rebooted, or otherwise hung. Also call me when Linux gets proper HDR and HIDPI support. The first 'Retina'-class Windows laptops were released in 2013, ten years ago.

      Call me when Windows gets proper HIDPI support lmao. As for HDR, that's here or coming in the next couple months.

        > Call me when Windows gets proper HIDPI support lmao. Has been here for nearly a decade now. It's pretty straightforward, and even Win32 programs can be made DPI-aware[1].

      Try setting the DPI on one screen to 125%. This is the default setting my computer came with out of the box. Windows can't handle this, and will render blurry text in system dialogs. Call me when Windows figures out how to render text /eyeroll

        I already have 125% on my 1080p 15.6-inch laptop display. > Windows can't handle this, and will render blurry text in system dialogs. Fix: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe" /f /t REG_SZ /d "~ HIGHDPIAWARE" Nearly all system dialogues use mmc.exe, so this should fix your issue.
