  1. Petition to implement old DPI font scaling from Windows 7


    I'm looking for visually impaired people and others, they don't like such tiny fonts to force Micro$oft for implementing in Windows 10 old DPI font scaling option, like on this screen. It comes from Windows 7 and was the best solution. Please, don't write me to use any scaling options in Windows 10. They are simply rubbish. I don't want to increase everything and using „Increase text size only” don't affect system font, for example used in Window „Run”.

    Unable to Change Font/Icon size from Setting app in Windows 10

    Old title: Change Font/Icon size

    Windows 10 takes care of this issue by supporting per-display DPI scaling to address. By default, Windows 8.1 will choose the optimum DPI scaling value for each display based on the value
    chosen for overall scaling in the control panel.

    You can change Modern UI text size by following the steps provided below.

    • Press Windows key
    • Click on Settings.
    • Click on System.
    • Click on Display.
    • Now change the font size according to your choice.

    When I attempt to follow these directions, the slider bar to make the font larger is at the far left. I can drag it to the right but as soon as I drop it, it bounces back to the left and therefore does NOT change the font size.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Susan Z
