The HxD application is blurred in Windows 10 when the current DPI is set to 120 DPI or more (Settings / System / Display / Scale and Layout / 125%). This is caused by missing entries in the application manifest. If I fix the manifest in HxD using ResourceHacker (or via anything that allows me to replace resources), then the look is fine.
Current and fixed look of the HxD editor is in the attachments. It may not be that obvious until you download the attachments and compare them in an image viewer.
Current HxD manifest:
