    Desktop randomly zooming out to unknown screen.


    As per the title, my desktop keeps semi randomly zooming out to I guess my activity feed? I don't know what the screen is actually called so I'm not having any luck googling the issue, searching "activity feed" turns up something else. I say semi randomly because it seems to be related to my trackpad usage, but it's not consistent. However, it's happening often enough that it's making it impossible to work. I've attached a shot of the screen in question. I'm certain I'm not palming any other keys while using it, so I don't think I'm activating a shortcut. If anyone can suggest a fix, or at least tell me what that screen is called so I can google it accurately, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

    randomly zoom in after upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7

    I upgraded a desktop pc (non touch screen) from Windows 7 to Windows a week ago. The upgrade went smoothly, but it randomly zoom in by itself with all web browsers and the MS words. When that happened, it gradually zoomed in step by step until 10%. I turned
    off the magnifier, but no luck. I tried to disable the magnifier by rename the magnifier.exe in system32 folder; that won't work either. I rolled it back to windows 7, no randomly zoom in any more. Any suggestion?

    Thank you in advance.

    TPU Capture Auto Zoom

    Not sure where else to post this since it isn't listed in the TPU Software section. But when I hit print screen it instantly zooms in. If I try to take a fullscreen shot it only takes the zoomed in window. Any ideas here?

    Badly zoomed in on all Office products and Explorer

    Hi,

    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    • If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the Ctrl key, and then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out.
    • From the keyboard, you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10% increments. To zoom in, press Ctrl + (+). To zoom out, press Ctrl + (-). To restore the zoom to 100%, press Ctrl+0.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
