    Increasing Text Size on Windows 11


    I just got a new computer with Windows 11 installed. I went to Accessibility to up the Text size a bit for my old eyes. I had already lowered the screen resolution to help, Those changes worked fine for File Explorer and most other places but looking at Task Manager, the section headings on the left are increased but the data panel on the right is still way too small and a large space is available on the right end of the data panel. I would rather not mess with scaling as that can cause other problems. Magnifier works as a temporary measure. I have seen others complain about this but no fix se

    :)

    Increasing Text Size on Windows 11

    Windows 10, How does one increase the size of the tooltips text for icons on the Task Bar ?

    Had already tried out the steps above, several times even with 10240 a few weeks back.

    To date even with the current RTM version, this issue of task bar icons text not increasing in size is still there.

    I have Windows 10 Pro on a laptop and PC tower ; both have the same problem . I had explored all known avenues to solve the issue which is clear-cut without success.

    Then posted the question earlier today for further help.
