Any update on this? - 2004 is rolling out thick and fast now...

Foe those of you who have 2004, how bad is the display- still useable I assume?

the display is like it used to be before Live 10 introduced the high-dpi mode.

So for those with a high-res display, you either have to use Live with a blurry UI, or use this 'trick' :
Disable 'high-dpi mode' in Live's preferences, then right click on Live's icon on the desktop, go to 'compatibility' tab, 'change high dpi settings', then tick high-dpi scaling override, and choose 'application'.

then in Live' preferences you can set zoom to your taste (I use 175%).
Live's UI is sharp, but the problem is that you can't resize external plugins anymore, and some of them are tiny (as are the preference's window and splash screen)

Thanks for that- lets hope we get an ETA on a fix, fortunately there is a beta going on so.......

Hey Ableton, we're dying here. If ever there was a bug needing fixing ASAP, this is right up there.

This just happened to me today with the latest Windows 10 update. Windows Version is 10.0.19041 Build 19041.

The solution agamben posted above worked for me as far as making the main windows sharp again, but now the Preferences window is really tiny. Better than everything blurry though.
