visual studio code looks blurry

Folks, this is not a code question but I dont know where else to post this. the website of VS Code linked me here so here goes.

Here are my visual studio code version details

Version: 1.26.1 Commit: 493869ee8e8a846b0855873886fc79d480d342de Date: 2018-08-16T18:38:57.434Z Electron: 2.0.5 Chrome: 61.0.3163.100 Node.js: 8.9.3 V8: 6.1.534.41 Architecture: x64

Once I updated to this version, the entire app started looking blurry. It was fine before the update and has been looking fine on this windows 10 machine.

I got other Microsoft Apps - Office Word, Excel and the rest, and they all fine. Visual Studio (regular) looks fine. Its this software and only since the latest update to 1.26.1

visual studio code looks blurry

Note: There is one other software which always had a blurry appearance, and that is Postman. I assumed that it is a Postman issue so never got around to fixing it or try fixing. adding this here if there is a connection but the question is primarily about Code, and how I could fix the appearance problem.

Update 1 :

So, I opened Postman and that also has stopped being blurry. So, looks like the blame does fall on AMD Radeon rather than MS or Postman developers.
