On Windows 10 Health Dashboard, Microsoft has updated the list of known bugs, which now includes the problem with blurry text. According to Microsoft, the bug affects only some users with "certain display configurations" on systems running Windows 10 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909.
There is no fix for blurry text in News and Interests
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to fix blurry text on the News and Interests widget. Microsoft says it is working on resolving the issue and will provide an update in the upcoming releases. For now, the only way to fix blurry text in News and Interest is to turn off the controversial feature altogether. Alternatively, you can switch to the "icon only" mode, where the widget shows the weather forecast without blurry text.

A controversial feature
If you are not familiar with News and Interests in Windows 10, it is a new panel that is intended to show you relevant updates about news, weather, sports events, finances, traffic, etc. With the release of June 2021 cumulative updates for Windows 10, Microsoft enabled News and Interest for everyone, causing quite a disturbance amid users. Many people dislike the fact that News and Interests take a lot of space on the taskbar, opens on hover, and has poor performance. Blurry text now joined the list of annoyances that force users to disable the new feature for good.
If your computer still has no traces of News and Interests on the taskbar, enjoy make sure you have the latest cumulative updates installed, and your PC runs Windows 10 1909 or newer.
