Windows 10: Changing Text size in Windows 10 after recent update.

Any idea if the text in Outlook dialogs (like Do you really want to permanently delete) can be changed? I tried all five entries (3840x2160 monitor) which fixed most texts but Outlook well, still Outlook

 

Hi! After I make the changes using a REG file, how to undo the changes? Thank you!

 

Hello cpj, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You can undo them by using the default settings, or do a system restore using a restore point dated before you made the changes.

It's basically just using a size that looks best to you though.

 

I used Option 2 and chose to download font 12 BOLD for icons, message boxes, tool tips, menus and title bars. I now have a bold font but it's still the same size.

If you like, try a larger size than 12 to see how it may look for you.

 

I tried the larger size and it worked like a charm. Thank you Brink for your help.

 

You're most welcome. *Smile

 

Shawn,
First of all, speaking as a newly-registered forum user but longtime visitor and 30+years Windows user, I want to say, you're the greatest! Now, on to the business at hand.
After months of resisting the installation of the original Windows 10 Creators Update (due to bugs I'd experienced after installing it last year), I finally allowed the latest version to be installed. I very quickly realized not only what Microsoft had done to my previously legible font sizes but also to the ability to change those font sizes, and so here I am.

My question is this: I see that you offer your downloadable REG files for changing font sizes for title bars and menus, but as much as I appreciate your offering these downloads, I am accustomed to directly editing the registry myself and would prefer to handle these changes in that way. Would it be too much trouble for you to post the relevant registry edits for making these changes using the registry editor?

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Regards,
George

If you like, you can right click on the downloaded .reg file and click on "Edit" to see its contents for what to manually modify in Registry Editor. If you have any questions for this, please let me know.

 

Thank you, Shawn. Will do!
