On Windows 10 your Citrix Receiver may show blurry text. This problem occurs due dynamic display scaling on non DPI aware (older) programs (more about that here). In Windows 10, the DPI scaling is turned on default. So to fix the problem, we need to turn it off for Citrix Receiver.
The affected files for Citrix Receiver are the CDviewer.exe and wfica32.exe.
