SqlServer Management Studio 2016 High DPI issue

I have installed SqlServer Management Studio 2016 and Visual Studio 2015 on the same host with Windows 10. While text in Visual Studio 2015 (and in Windows at all) is crisp the text in SSMS looks like rendered with blur option.

How to make the text in SSMS sharp?

The current state is in sample below (to see the difference you have to view it in 1:1 scale)..

I have just installed SSMS v17.0 and the issue is still present. The way to solve it is to modify properties of a shortcut of the application. On my laptop the file is located under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server Tools 17. On Compatibility tab need to Override high DPI scaling behavior and set it to Application:
