Windows 10: Custom scaling at a higher resolution and font/icon changes in the UI

I am thinking about switching from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440. When the windows size scaling is at 100% in 2560x1440 it's rather small so I want to scale it up to be the same size as when I am on 1920x1080. However when I do, it changes the font and the icons and it feels really off to me, like this. When it's 100% at 2560x1440 it looks the same as 1920x1080 but yeah, it's very small.

Is there a specific scaling on 2560x1440 that will make the UI look basically identical to 1920x1080 in size, icon and font use? I've tried a load of percentages between 115 and 135 but haven't found a sweet spot, if there is one

Desktop Icon Font Change

Hello,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to fix the issue. However, I would appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down the issue in order to provide
you with better assistance.

• Is the issue specific to some apps or web browser?
• Are all the device drivers and Windows updates are updated?

As per the issue description you are facing issue with fonts which get messed up.

In Windows 10, you can now set DPI (Dots per Inch) scaling to make text and other items, such as icons, fonts, and windows, to display larger or smaller for all displays or per-display.

Windows 10 DPI scaling improvements are primarily focused on:

• Optimizing the usability and readability of high-DPI displays
• Providing a uniform experience multi-display systems
• Empowering developers to optimize app-specific scaling based on display DPI

If you are running a screen resolution of 1366x768 on a tablet, chances are that UI will look good at 100% DPI settings. But what about when you connect that tablet to an external high resolution display? In Windows 8 you can choose either 100% to
optimize the UI on the tablet display or up to 150% to optimize the UI on the external display. You have to compromise.

Windows 10 takes care of this issue by supporting
per-display DPI scaling to address. By default, Windows 8.1 will choose the optimum DPI scaling value for each display based on the value chosen for overall scaling in the control panel.

You can change Modern UI text size by following the steps provided below.

• Press Windows key
• Click on Settings.
• Click on System.
• Click on Display.
• Now change the font size according to your choice.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

 

Unable to Change Font/Icon size from Setting app in Windows 10

Old title: Change Font/Icon size

Windows 10 takes care of this issue by supporting per-display DPI scaling to address. By default, Windows 8.1 will choose the optimum DPI scaling value for each display based on the value
chosen for overall scaling in the control panel.

You can change Modern UI text size by following the steps provided below.

• Press Windows key
• Click on Settings.
• Click on System.
• Click on Display.
• Now change the font size according to your choice.

When I attempt to follow these directions, the slider bar to make the font larger is at the far left. I can drag it to the right but as soon as I drop it, it bounces back to the left and therefore does NOT change the font size.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

UI issues on many applications

If I do use lessor resolution than the option of Full HD is useless. Well I will give a try!

About 110% custom scale I have done that and UI had issues again!

I have done that and UI had issues again!
