Windows 10: Control Panel display font size, light mode... on Windows 11

Hi! I am trying to change the display of the Control Panel on Windows 11. I find the text there on the Control Panel, not outside of it difficult to read because the font there is too small and it is bothering to read at night, because it keeps the light mode even when the rest of the Windows 11 interface is set on dark mode.Is there any way to increase the font size OF not "with" the Control Panel menu?And is there any way to change it to dark mode, so it does not show that bright white background?I think these questions are also relevant to Windows 10 and probably earlier versions.Thanks

:)

Hi Larry,

Follow these steps to change the font size in IE11:

• Type and click Control Panel.
• Click Appearance and Personalization and under Display, click
  Make text other items larger or smaller.
• Under Change only the text size, choose the Title bars
  in the drop-down menu and the desired font size on the drop-down menu beside it.

Control panel font size too small.

I have IE 11 with windows 10 on a Lenovo 20A7 X1 Carbon laptop, which has a touch screen.

The font size for the Control Panel's own fonts (and some other instances) cannot be changed with the methods given for other types of menus, etc. Also, changing the screen resolution does no good for this problem. The touch screen does not work to increase
the size with the pinch gesture for these screen contents. The zoom (using Control & + - keys works fine for most other screen views, but has no effect whatsoever on the Control panel's own (as well as some of the other) font sizes. Also, the "BRIEFING" news
software (which came loaded on my computer when purchased) does not respond to the touch screen sizing, so the text remains too small for comfortable reading.

Overall, Microsoft has done a horrible job regarding text size control on Windows 10. There have been way too many things that have been left to the computer owners to have to deal with in order to get fixed!

Is there any chance that Microsoft will be fixing these problem anytime soon? Would appreciate some suggestions.
