    Increase system font in start menu, notification area, etc.?


    I have a small 11.6 tablet with full HD (1920:1080) resolution.
    The "system" font, like in the start menu, notification area, apps (Mail), etc., is ridiculously tiny, even on a 150% (recommended) scaling.
    I have to set scaling to 200%, to get a comfortable size, but this sometimes hides buttons/elements from other programs.
    Increasing font size only, doesn't seem to have any effect to the "Metro part" of Windows 10, fonts keep microscopic tiny.
    Is there any "mod or hack", e.g. registry tweaking, to just increase the font size for the "Metro part" of Windows 10?

    :)

    Bigger, Darker Fonts

    I sympathize. You can adjust some fonts using System Font Size Changer:

    System Font Size Changer - Increase Text Size in Windows 10

    This will let you increase icon font(Explorer & Desktop), Menu items, and several others.

    Some things will remain annoyingly tiny, like control labels on the Ribbon, Jump lists and other items. There is another Registry trick that allows you to set a bolder font as the System default, but you will lose access to the Segoe UI font and the size
    can not be increased.
