Chrome fonts look serrated and fuzzy after windows 10 latest update 1709

Reported by dalico...@gmail.com, Jan 26 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. only happens in chrome
2. it just started today January 25 after the latest update
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
The font will be serrated and fuzzy unclear. If I open Microsoft Edge the fonts are fine

What went wrong?
I don't have a clue, but I think it has to do with Windows 10 update.  I have a dell inspiron N5110 and initially it would not accept the new update. I read that possibly my machine was incompatible with the new update, but it had not been tested (Dell said that). So I tried again, and it worked somehow, however it said that some capabilities might be missing... no idea as to which ones. I would appreciate your help as I use Chrome in my Mac and other devices so I like to keep them in sync.   I attached the pages for chrome and Edge so you can see the difference. Thank you again

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.119  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

I hope this is the right forum as I have looked all over and none of the suggestions available have worked, or I just don't get how to do it.

I found a fix online. 

Enabled ClearType with the default settings. Go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Adjust ClearType text (on the left). Check the box entitled “Turn on ClearType.” After going through a short wizard, this will fix some of the text rendering issues in Chrome.

Enable "Disable accelerated 2D Canvas" in Chrome. This seems very counterintuitive, but if your graphics card does not have this capability, then vector objects in Chrome render poorly.

It worked like a charm. Sorry for the bother and I left the post just in case someone else has the same issue.

Thanks for the update! 
Out of curiosity, did you have ClearType on before?

Hi,
Nope, I guess since I enabled it... I don't know what had happened, maybe Windows update messed it up, as it used to work just fine before till, suddenly it didn't any more.
ciao
