  3. Getting out of Custom Scaling set at 500

    I accidently set custom scaling on my Windows 10 PC to 500. The screen is now magnified so high that I cannot navigate enough to correct the scaling. I have tried to enter safe mode but all the methods suggested so far do not seem to work leaving my PC
    useless.

    Can anyone help Thanks very much Alex
