Why does my remote desktop session introduce custom scaling and blurry text

I have noticed this problem for a few years now. It happens primarily when I use Remote Desktop Connection from Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro connecting to my Windows 10 Desktop but I have also had it happen connecting from my Windows 10 Desktop to another Windows 10 Desktop.

Essentially, the remote machine will have fuzzy text and some websites are practically unreadable. I think it may be Windows applying custom scaling as sometimes if I have access to my desktop I can turn off custom scaling, log out and back in and it is resolved for a short while. This is not an option through Remote Desktop Connection. I have also tried messing with the RDC settings, “Font Smoothing enabled” etc. but does not seem to work.

I should note that it does occasionally happen on the actual host machine so I’m not sure if it’s anything to do with RDC, it just seems to show up more then.

Any ideas?
