After upgrading to Windows 10...I now have IIS listening on port 80? I noticed it because my vagrant box failed to come up due to conflicting port forwarding.

code:

$ curl -sv [url]http://localhost[/url]
* Rebuilt URL to: [url]http://localhost/[/url]
* timeout on name lookup is not supported
*   Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost
> User-Agent: curl/7.44.0
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
< Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
< Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2016 23:20:30 GMT
< Content-Length: 0
<
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

I went to disable anything IIS related but it gives me this scary dialog box that mentions stuff I'm not familiar with:

I fixed the port 80 thing by disabling the "World Web Web Publishing Service" in services.msc

I got a new laptop at work (Lenovo P50) and now text is kinda blurry on my multi monitor setup.

Laptop native res is 3840x2160, scaling set to 200%. Everything looks perfect on the laptop screen.

I have two Asus PA248Q monitors hooked up to it, native res is 1920x1200, scaling set to 100%. Some text looks OK. But a lot of text and icons are terribly blurry.

I've tried toggling and tuning ClearType, doesn't seem to help. Also tried toggling "Smooth edges of screen fonts". What is wrong with this thing?

Sounds like I'm hosed

Windows 10 high DPI screen scaling fails yet again. MS has GOT to fix this somehow. As it is high DPI screens are loving unusable and yet available on most new laptops.

I didn't realize this was just a known issue. What a bummer. Has MS acknowledged it and that they are indeed working on a fix?
