Font and Icon size

Hi Vickie,

It's possible that some settings were accidentally changed, affecting your icons and font size. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As initial recommendation, we suggest following these steps to change the icon size:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
• Select View.
• Choose Medium icons or Small icons, whichever you prefer more.
  

Additionally, you can change the display size of texts and other items by following these steps:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
• Click Display settings.
• Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, drag the slider over to 100%.
  
• If the slider is already on 100%, click Advanced display settings.
• Under Resolution, choose the Recommended option from the drop-down choices.

We'll wait for your response to our questions and the results of the initial troubleshooting.

 

Read Unknown, Not Initialized SSD

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It seems like you're dealing with a potentially failing SSD, which can be a complex issue. Here are a few steps you could try:

1. Different Computer or Cable: It might be an issue with the cable or the port you're using. Try connecting the SSD to a different computer or using a different cable.

2. Use Diskpart: Diskpart is a command-line utility that can sometimes fix disk problems that Disk Management can't. Here's how to use it:

• Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
  
• Type diskpart and press Enter.
  
• Type list disk and press Enter. You'll see a list of the disks connected to your computer.
  
• Type select disk X (replace X with the number of your SSD) and press Enter.
  
• Type clean and press Enter.
  
• Type convert gpt or convert mbr (choose the one you didn't try in Disk Management) and press Enter.
  
• Exit Diskpart and try initializing the SSD in Disk Management again.
  

3. Data Recovery Software: If you can't initialize the SSD but you need to recover data from it, you might need to use data recovery software. These tools can sometimes read the disk even if Windows can't.

4. Professional Help: If none of the above solutions work, the SSD might be physically damaged or experiencing a serious failure. In this case, you may need to seek professional help. Many data recovery services can help.

SSDs can fail for a variety of reasons and it's always important to keep regular backups of your important data.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
