zoom in and out controls

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in using Windows 10.

Are you using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge?

It seems that you are trying zoom in and out on Microsoft Edge. We tried to recreate the issue on Internet Explorer, zoom in and out function using ctrl + or ctrl - keys are working fine.

Reference link or more information.

To zoom in and out on Microsoft Edge, refer to these steps:

• Open the Microsoft Edge, then open any website.
• Click on More options(...) then click on Zoom(-+).

Badly zoomed in on all Office products and Explorer

Hi,

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

• If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the Ctrl key, and then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out.
• From the keyboard, you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10% increments. To zoom in, press Ctrl + (+). To zoom out, press Ctrl + (-). To restore the zoom to 100%, press Ctrl+0.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Control key zooms and Start menu scrolling issue

Thanks for the suggestion!

Also -- I forgot to mention -- I have a Logitech M720 Triathlon bluetooth mouse -- if that makes any difference.

OK -- I unplugged and let it sit for about an hour -- then blew out the keyboard and rebooted and it didn't help! Also -- both Control keys zoom the screen!

Do you have any other suggestions?
