    Change size of fonts in file explorer


    I've red all the tutorials and post that I could find about changing font size in files explorer but I think some settings have changed in newer versions of Win 10. for example it says to do the following to change font size.

    However as you can see in my version if Windows 10 I don't have the same options

    My Windows version is



    Change size of fonts in file explorer [​IMG]


    my dual 24" monitors sit about 3 feet away from me and my vision isn't good enough to see the fonts as good as I'd like. Simple answer is move monitors closer....lol I can't with my setup so I have to find a way to increase the size of the fonts.

    I even bought 2 New 28" 4K monitors thinking I could make things larger only to find out that it makes things smaller. I have several issues but I want to focus on just making the fonts larger in file explorer. If I can get that done on my 24" monitors it may work on my 4K monitors also?

    Appreciate any help in advance

    :)

    Font Size File Explorer Windows 10

    Hi,

    To assist you, kindly provide us additional information.

    • Did you make any changes before the issue started?
    • Does it happen only with your File Explorer?
    • Can you please provide us a screenshot of the item that you want the font or the box to be adjusted?
    For the meantime, if you simply want to change the font size, we recommend that you follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + i to open Settings.
    • In the Settings, choose System -> Display -> Advanced display settings -> Advanced sizing of text and other items.
    • In Change only the text size drop-down, choose Icons. Adjust what size you prefer and click Apply.

    Let us know how it goes.
