Windows 10: Magnifier Win Plus + or - not working correctly

Until about two weeks ago When I pressed Win Key Plus + or - key whatever I had on my screen increased or decreased.
Now, when I press Win Plus + am area about one inch in high opens. its almost like it opens a second copy of the desktop. I use another Win 10 PC at work and the key combination works fine.

A dix would be greatly appreciated.

Magnifier

Bree, I do appreciate your suggestions, thank you.

Just one more question: do you have to press Win + plus key twice to let the magnifier do its job? I was accustomed for many years to click only one time under Win 7 and now each time I have to press the Win and plus key combination twice I go bonkers.

Hey RXaverius,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to turn off the magnifier and check if it helps.

• Go to “settings” and click on “ease of access”.
• Then under the “magnifier” option “turn off” it.

Or also you can press the keys “Windows+Esc” and the magnifier will be closed.

For more information regarding magnifier refer to the below article and check if it helps.

Note: Also applies to Windows 10.

Hope this information is helpful.
