    Cannot see the 'Default Font' setting


    Last week, we could see this response in the Feedback Hub:



    Cannot see the 'Default Font' setting 34ef4a75-0e2b-417c-a831-54492e6b1425?upload=true.png



    The same claim is made on the What's new page. I seem to have a later version than the one quoted:


    Cannot see the 'Default Font' setting ec7b51d2-6d88-4af9-85ad-a0ff62fdb4ce?upload=true.png


    The option is not available in the settings menu:



    Cannot see the 'Default Font' setting eeaefdde-391e-46f7-8dc1-1de598b61592?upload=true.png



    Was it removed again between builds 20182 and 20192? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

    :)

    How to change font size in Windows 10 and set them to default?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As your concern is about changing the font size, do let us know the following to assist you better:

    • Are you referring to font size in Windows operating system/ with in the Windows Live Mail?

    If you are referring to font size in Windows operating system, try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Steps to restore the default font settings.

    • Press Windows key, type font and select
      Change Font Settings
      .
    • Click on Restore default font settings.
