Windows 10: Text in Some Application, Properties, and Regedit are Too Small

I have trouble reading text in Windows 11, in general. It's bad everywhere. It's worse in applications which ignore scaling, in each application's properties menu, and in Regedit.I've seen other posts where they suggested reducing screen resolution, but I've already reduced it to 1280x720 and can't reduce it any further.How can I increase text size in the properties menus, and Regedit, when I can't read the text there?

Text size very small in certain applications




As the image above shows. I have an issue with certain apps (Doceri, and Adobe that I've identified) appearing with text extremely small. Other apps such as Chrome and Microsoft Office seem to be fine by comparison. I've thumbed through the solutions to similar problems and nothing has worked. Typical "Display Settings" dialogue was useless. Advanced properties didn't do much either. And even manually altering the DPI value to 1 was ineffective. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Small menu text on some applications

I have the same problem. There are a number of applications that have very small text on my new computer with Windows 10. The text is so small I need to get very close to the screen to see what it sais.

I have used these applications on multiple computers and multiple OS including Windows 10. So I'm not sure if this is a Windows issue or something else with the computer (I have already called ASUS tech support to resolve but they weren't able to help)
