    I've tried ALL the suggestions on your site and NONE of them worked. I've even tried 3rd party apps that change the size until the next login, then goes microscopic again. There should be a system-wide setting to make a minimum size for ALL fonts in Windows. Surely somebody there could do this Is this something we can't tell for national security reasons or something? We wouldn't want the Russians to be able to see the filenames, would we?

    Font Size File Explorer Windows 10

    Hi,

    To assist you, kindly provide us additional information.

    • Did you make any changes before the issue started?
    • Does it happen only with your File Explorer?
    • Can you please provide us a screenshot of the item that you want the font or the box to be adjusted?
    For the meantime, if you simply want to change the font size, we recommend that you follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + i to open Settings.
    • In the Settings, choose System -> Display -> Advanced display settings -> Advanced sizing of text and other items.
    • In Change only the text size drop-down, choose Icons. Adjust what size you prefer and click Apply.

    Let us know how it goes.
