    How to Change Default Console Window Size in Windows


    A console (or "terminal) is an application that provides I/O to character-mode applications.

    For example: Linux

    This tutorial will show you how to change the default window size a console window opens with by default for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

    *note If you set a custom window size for a console window, it will only be applied to the specific console window shortcut that opened it.

    For example, command prompt opened via Win+X menu VS Run (Win+R) dialog. Each location would have its own settings.



    Here's How:

    1. Open a Linux console window you want using the shortcut or location you want to apply a custom window size to.

    *note You could also just directly right click on the console window shortcut or file, click/tap on Properties, and go to step 4 below.

    2. Drag the borders of the console window to the size you want. (see screenshot below)

    3. Right click or press and hold on the title bar of the console window, and click/tap on Properties. (see screenshot below)

    4. Click/tap on the Layout tab, make any width and height adjustments you want for Windows Size, and click/tap on OK to apply. (see screenshot below)

    *note The Window Preview box will show you a preview of your adjustments to see if that is what you want before you click/tap on OK to apply.

    The width size you set under Window Size will also be applied to the width size under Screen Buffer Size.

    That's it,

    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?
    • Have you installed any fonts on your device?

    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.
    • Sign-out from the current user account and re-sign in and check if it helps.

    Step 2: Change the font settings

    If you are referring to Windows Live Mail, I would like to inform that it is by design you cannot change the font settings to default on Windows Live Mail. Instead, you can choose appropriate font size and fonts while typing the mail.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue, we will be happy to help you accordingly.

    Windows 7 + GPU-Z size issue

    It should be noted that w1zzard is aware of this issue, what we want is more people with the same problem to come forward and report any information they can.

    Problem: GPU-Z is too big.


    Change Default Console Window Size in Windows Capture182.jpg


    Thats my GPU-Z on the right, sitting on top of a browser window (the GPU-Z page) showing the size difference.


    How to reproduce it:

    1. Must be running windows 7
    2. Must be on a high resolution display (1080p and above?)
    3. windows must DEFAULT you to the following setting of 125%

    Change Default Console Window Size in Windows Capture183.jpg



    The exact problem is that when you are defaulted to 125%, everything is made larger.
    When you drop to 100%, GPU-Z doesnt drop with it.


    This same problem used to occur on CPU-Z as well, screenshot for proof

    Change Default Console Window Size in Windows Capture181.jpg



    We just anyone else with this issue to step forward, w1zzards not going to bother fixing it if its just me.


    notes:
    • if you default to 100%, you can change up and down problem free
    • we beleive the default is chosen when you install windows, but we arent sure.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    That's it , I've had it with the control panel window

    those icons are always in alphabetical order. it resizes to fit based on the window size, so if thats changing, then you're changing the size.


    either you're resizing the window before closing it (and therefore, it opens at that size next time) or you have some kind of cleanup program (such as Ccleaner) wiping windows list of window positions and sizes.



    by default, windows 7 does not resize your windows on you, OR reorganise the control panels icons in anything but alphabetical order.
