When using plot in 2022(a) with Windows 10, the lines appear fuzzy in the Figure pop-up in the matlab software :
Upon copying the figure and pasting in a powerpoint for example, the lines appear smooth:
Is this a matlab or Windows issue?

which Renderer are you using?
get(gcf,'Renderer');
you can also try setting to painters renderer
set(gcf,'Renderer','painters')

One quick solution is to enlarge (Maximize) the figure window and then to restore (Restore) it ints original size using the right corner buttons that should clear up the fuzziness.

well, are your data perfectly linear? if these are your data, Matlab will interpret them in the way they are, which may be "fuzzy" looking.
i'm not well aware on importing figures into PowerPoint, however, if you actually input file with data, it is possible that PowerPoint just makes it look nicer.
if you want to find out: you can try saving your figure as an image, and then you will see. if the saved image is same as in Figure Window, then it's Windows issue. if the image is same as in PowerPoint, then it's Matlab issue.
thought, this is just my guess, there may be a more sophisticated way.
