    How to Change Text Size for Menus in Windows 10


    You can make the text for menus on your screen easier to see by making them larger while keeping your display set to its recommended DPI.

    This will affect the following menus:
    • context menus
    • drop menus
    • menu bars
    • ribbon in File Explorer
    • Win+X menu
    This tutorial will show you how to change the font size of text for menus to what you want for your account in Windows 10.

    *note If you change your DPI scaling level, it will also change the text size of menus to scale with the DPI setting.

    Change Menus Text Size in Windows 10

    Shawn

    Your REG file is a lifesaver. By virtue of it, I was able to apply previous Windows menu dimensions to my new Creators Edition installation. Score plus one for Brink, minus one for Microsoft. There is however, another window metric at issue. One of the entries in the erstwhile Display > Change Only the Text Size setting controlled the text size of filenames and folders in File Explorer, much less the first few entries in Chrome’s Bookmarks bar. Is it the text size for the Icons entry? It sure would be wonderful if you could provide another REG file to address that issue.

    And, thanks again for all of your excellent guidance over the years.

    Small question Shawn.

    I use text size of 24 in Windows 7.

    Is the size (24) in Windows 7 the same size (24) in Windows 10?

    Knowing this would save me a lot of testing.

    Hey Jack, *Smile

    It should be, but there has been a lot of DPI changes made in W10 that could affect it.

    You could start at 24, and go from there based on what you're seeing to help reduce testing.

    Will give it a try later.
    I have been doing some color changes. What a mess compared to W-7.
    Now a new BSOD.

    So much fun and so little time

    Well I found the problem with BSOD and fixed it.

    I changed my font size to 24 Bold and my screen from 1920 X 1080 to 1768 X 992 and I now longer have to squint.
    Screen at 150%.

    Microsoft sure made it more difficult to do something so simple.
    I wounder what people do that don't read this forum.
