Keeping a higher Zoom level than 100%

Hi BillAllgire, i hope you're doing good today.

I would suggest you to Reset Zoom level and then try setting zoom level to 100% and check if it helps:

Open Internet Explorer.

Press Alt + X and then click on Internet Options.

Click on the Advanced tab.

Place a check mark on "Reset Zoom level for new Windows and tab"

Press Apply and ok.

Close and open Internet Explorer window and check if the Default Zoom is set to 100 %.

Regards.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
