    Text size changes even though percentage in Display Settings remains the same


    I have a 3840x2160 and text size is set to the recommended 150%. Text size changes on its own to a smaller font - though it still says 150%. Can get it back to "normal" sometimes by toggling the size and doing a reboot. This happened occasionally but, the last couple of days happens constantly. Windows 10 w/ auto update turned on. What can I do to stop it?

    :)

    Text size changes even though percentage in Display Settings remains the same

    How do I change the font size of the text displayed


    I have not tweaked anything but find that the font size of the text displayed (say of TenForums) has reduced. I have tried Settings-> Display. It has only two options : Default (100%) & 150%. If I set it to 150%, everything including Desktop & Taskbar are affected. I tried changing the font size in Control Panel -> Display -> Change only Text Size ->Message Boxes, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
