Describe the Bug
Cursor will startup with LCD subpixel text rendering enabled, and then after 1-2s, it disables, with only grayscale AA (which is thinner/blurrier/dim).
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor on Windows, in which vscode/monaco/electron uses subpixel text rendering (unless disabled via startup flags, but then it usually goes no AA rather than grayscale).

Possible cause and fix:
Electron FAQ: The font looks blurry, what is this and what can I do?
