Screen shrinks temporarily

Hi Juan,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



To understand the issue better, please provide us more information.

• 
  What do you mean when you say ‘’I click on the screen or link’’? Please elaborate.
  
• 
  When you say ’’it temporarily shrinks’’ do you mean the size of the screen is decreasing g or the font and text?
  
• 
  What is the make and model of the computer and extended display monitor?
  
• 
  When you say ‘’ it temporarily shrinks for a few seconds’’ does it happen on the desktop or extended display monitor?
  

Awaiting your response for further assistance.

 

Screen Font Sizes Shrinking on Higher Resolution Monitors

I just posted a question regarding screen font sizes shrinking on higher resolution monitors. Many of us who are buying larger monitors are doing it because of the shrinking font sizes. Unfortunately, it appears that someone in the corporate offices of
software vendors think we want to see more things on our screens when we are only trying to increase the sizes of objects and text back to what they were on our old monitor.

I realize that there is the ability to increase screen font sizes by changing the screen resolution, changing default font settings and using zoom features or magnifiers. Unfortunately, these methods more often than not have detrimental effects — image cropping,
applications that do not permit setting changes or applications like Microsoft Outlook 2016 that allows changes in some features but not others or allows changes by individual folder but not global.

When I contact technical support they always ignore the cause of the problem and try to come up with one of the answers I list above. When I post a question here I get answers like, "I don't have your problem." I really wonder why they even respond.

What can we do to get software vendors to listen?
