Windows 10: Improve screen size

Hi All,

This is my first post. I have just update a dell tablet to win 10. I would like to increase the screen viewing area and have auto hidden the task bar.

My question is about the 2 top bars, ( not sure of the correct names ). Can either of these bars be hidden/removed/disabled and so increase the screen size.

I know how to go full screen when I reach my target page, its just in the general viewing scenario that I wish a larger viewing size.


Thanks all.

What happen to the control panel that allow me to change the text size

Did what you said and moved to "change size of text apps other item" there was no Advanced display setting to that advanced sizing of Text....that is want to change Screen text size, not what I wanted....want to change the menu bars not screen font sized.
But there was and advanced sizing to Text to select....only option I had was the scale from 100% to 175%....Totally not the answer...and want menu text size not screen sizing of fonts!! Totally different

 

problem with lumia 535

"display content get larger in size"

looks like the screen magnifier is activated (double tap with two fingers or something like that).

you can turn it off in the "settings" under "ease of access". turning of the magnifier off should also improve the touchscreen performance.

 

Can you post a screen capture of the window showing the bars you want to remove?

Use Internet Explorer instead of Microsoft Edge - F11 toggles full screen mode - not yet implemented in Microsoft Edge

 

Hi Ztruker,

I am not on that device at the moment so cannot do a screen shot. However in a attempt to clarify on win 7 (and other OS ) its the same position as the menu bar.

I thought it would just be right click and un-tick a box and its gone. That option I cannot find, perhaps it does not exist.

I have found the option for the task bar to auto hide that so at least that has improved the screen size.
