Fuzzy Windows 8.1

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and noticed that all of my applications got fuzzy. Apparently, Windows has discovered that my display has a "very high resolution" (1920x1080) and tries to make everything better by scaling the fonts to a point where they get fuzzy. This was driving me mad as I thought my contact lenses were the cause. What resolved it for me was to disable scaling for each application.
