Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac pro resolution problem

I have created a partition for windows 8.1 pro on my 13' retina display mac pro via boot camp, everything is fine except the resolution, when i open the browser, i could see pixels, the words aren't very sharp, but this isn't my biggest problem, when i open the Solidworks software i'm working on, the icons are too small, or the texts are too big for their boxes. what is happening here? anyone knows what is all about, or how to fix this? changing the resolution of the display didn't solve the problem. 😟

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 8

This is how the words look like in the browser page, you could see pixels. The maximum resolution for this machine is 2560*1600

change the dpi in display settings so it's not over 100%

few things in windows really work well with that whole large text thing

Have you installed all the BC drivers? Do you have any unknown devices in Device Manager? If yes, please use System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

as I state change the DPI to 100 rather then 125 or 150 or whatever it's set to

the wast majority of windows apps have a horrible handling of scaling the dpi's

only way to remove it is a new version of the program in question or lowering the dpi
