Windows 10: Text size slider disappeared in display settings

I have windows 10 with the latest updates.

I have been using 2 displays one on my 2019 dell inspiration laptop and another on a Samsung 27 in monitor connected with HDMI.

I was using the Samsung monitor on a different computer while using the laptop. The laptop was not connected to the other monitor at that time.

The text size was too small on the laptop so I adjusted the text size up with text size the slider which worked well.

I finished my work with the second computer and hooked the monitor back up to the laptop to use both screens.

My text size was too large on the monitor so I went back to settings, System, Display, Scale and Layout.

The only options now available are 100, 125, 150 and 175. There is now no slider.

I set the setting at 100 but the text size on the monitor is still much larger than it was when the slider worked.

The text size is about right on the laptop.

I use the display setting either as Duplicate and sometimes Extended but most often in second screen only with the laptop screen shut off.

I have tried to adjust text size using only the laptop with no HDMI connection to the other monitor and still no slider.


Question 1 How do I get the text size slider back?


Question 2 Can I set display text size to different settings for each Monitor whether in Duplicate, Extended, Second Screen or PC only
