  1. Some text is tiny


    On my new Windows 11 laptop some of the text is tiny. When the computer updated, some of the dialogue windows were almost impossible to read since the text was so tiny.I can't figure out exactly what and when the screens are small. I have subtitling software where the same problem shows up. It did not look like this on my old pc. It may not be fully apparent from the screen shot but it is very hard to read the text.All other things are displayed properly so it doesn't relly help to change screen resolution or general scale as they will simply mess everything else up.Any ideas?

    :)

    Tiny, Tiny Text

    Hi. I'm running Windows 10, the newest iteration. All of a sudden yesterday a lot of text was so small I could barely read it. Web pages are ok except for Firefox new page text under the most used and sponsored links. Task bar and task tray apps are small when you right click, Desktop icons are correct size, but the titles again are tiny. File Explorer text is also small. Title bars and browser url area and menus are tiny. Office apps seem ok. I have tested for corrupt files in the cmd window and it did find one, checked the disk, ran a full virus scan etc. I tried to restore from before the last update, but it didn't work and is saying something about the iCloud Photos folder under my users folder, and I was not able to delete it manually, although I have doubts that would have anything to do with it. I have a 4k monitor and have always set the display at 225%. If I raise it then the text is still small and everything else is too large. If I move the text slider, it doesn't do anything to the small text. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid having to do a refresh. I'm a senior and have trouble reading the tiny text, its straining my eyes. PC is a 6th gen i7 with 16 gb ram. Thanks for any help in advance.

  3. Increasing text in an image

    Happy Holidays everyone!

    I downloaded a picture from the internet and it's a step-by-step guide to installing Arch Linux.

    It's a large picture, but the words are very tiny. When I tried printing it out, the words were even smaller. Is it possible to enlarge the text?

    I'd like to print it out, because I plan on installing Arch on three different systems. To me, this is very handy

  4. Some text is tiny

    Tiny text in some applications in Windows 10

    Hi Kelgan,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. I will do my best to fix the issue.

    To assist you better I would like to know, which are the application that has tiny text?

    Based on your screenshot, it seems like the tiny text are with the third party application. The best what I can suggest you is to check the text size settings with-in the application. If you do not get the settings, you can contact the application
    developer/support.

    If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.
