Windows 10: Certain apps are too small in windows 11

Hello,Several applications I use are tiny and unreadable in Windows 11 on my new laptop see an example screenshot below. I tried adjust the scaling, display resolution, make text bigger, none of them helped. It's strange because these apps looked okay in Windows 11 on my previous laptop. Please please if you know any solution! Thank you so much!Mai

Text on certain apps super small

Hi! I have been running into issues with certain apps on my Asus laptop from day 1. I noticed that certain text in certain apps is very small.

When I got the laptop, it was running Windows 10 and now I am running Windows 11 - same issue persists.

I have scaling set to 250% (recommended) and while increasing this number helps, it does make everything else super large. I also tried running apps as Administrator and running the program in Compatibility mode (Windows 7) but that did nothing.

Some of the apps where I experienced these issues are CCleaner, Malwerebytes and Quickbooks (click links below for screenshots). For reference, I tried all these apps on my stationary PC that's running Windows 7 with default settings with no issues.

ccleaner-screenshot-1 — ImgBB
Malwarebytes-small-pop-up — ImgBB

Please help as I have no idea on what the issue is and it's making some apps very hard to use while the laptop is relatively new.

 

Small tiles sometimes being half of its original size

Hi Purnen,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

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

Step 1: Resize the app.

• 
  Open the Start menu.
  
• 
  Right click on the icons (which are appearing small on your start menu) and click on Resize.
  
• 
  Select the option like small/medium/large/wide which you like. (Resize options vary from the app to app)
  

Step 2: If the particular app is missing/not there on Start menu.

• 
  Open the Start menu, type the app name in the search bar.
  
• 
  Once you see the pap name on the search bar, right click on it and click on Pin to start if the app is not there on Start menu. (you may click on Pin to taskbar also if you wish to pin the app to taskbar)
  
  
  

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Need a small app...

Hi,

I need a small app to get an image from a web (in my case, intranet) address, and display it as a Windows Wallpaper.

I am on Windows Vista.

Thanks,
