Hello All,

Hope you're doing well,

Recently, I've updated Microsoft Edge Browser and it frequently gets blurred automatically. After some time, It gets back to normal. When I checked this problem on the Internet, It asked me to turn off Hardware Acceleration in my Browser.

I turned off & restarted the browser but I am still facing the same problem. I've attached a screenshot of how it looks. Could anyone help me fix this issue ASAP?

Thank You :)

Regards,

Advaith N Aithal

    Same issue but I can minimize to get the screen or site to return to normal. Weird!

    I am also experiencing this, it is really annoying when trying to do my University Assessments and research how can we get it to stop doing this. It is impacting my learning. It needs sorting out!!!!

    I have met this problem as well after updating the edge browser. I searched Google and the answer years ago said I should turn off the hardware acceleration. But after I did this, the problem still exists.

    I hope they can fix it soon because I was working in one online test yesterday and suddenly all pages got blurred but I can't use ALT+TAB to fix it since I was in the test and the screen is shared and monitored to avoid cheating. I only have a few questions unanswered, so I just answered it randomly. I guess I will fail this test. This experience sucks.

    I am also having the same issue. Started this week. Only affecting Microsoft Edge for Business. Upgraded to Version 117.0.2045.36 (Official build) (64-bit). I turned off all default Optimize Performance settings off, restarted my machine and the issue has persisted for several days still. It seems if any window, with an active tab, is not interacted with for a period of time, all tabs on all Edge Browser windows are blurred out. Selecting the tabs or windows does not unblur them, I need to Alt + Tab to an Edge Browser window to un-blur them.

    Several other staff in my Company are reporting this issue now.

    I have not turned on any additional security settings on that may have caused this and from this documentation any user settings I make, should override any company policy settings - Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn.

    Same issue. It's been happening for a couple of days, affects *only* the Edge windows (no other browsers or apps), and happens any time Edge is left in focus for a period of time. Switching back and forth to other windows seems to restore it to normal or, possibly, prevent it from going blurry.
