Fix Task Manager blurriness on different DPI monitors in Windows 10

Fix Task Manager blurriness on different DPI monitors in Windows 10

Task Manager on Windows 10 is blurry on secondary monitors if they have a different DPI from the primary monitor. This is because Task Manager is only PROCESS_SYSTEM_DPI_AWARE, despite being a relatively new application (a new Task Manager was introduced in Windows 8). This can be confirmed by using a tool such as Resource Hacker and checking the manifest file for this:

<asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
    <dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
    <autoElevate>true</autoElevate>
</asmv3:windowsSettings>
