    Why does increasing the font size via settings/ease of access/Display/Make everything...


    When I increase font size after getting a new super-resolution display and having my old eyes squint to try to read text I decided to increase the font size, but after I did so single clicking on a PDF file in my file explorer caused the right portion of the PDF preview to be cut off, expanding the window did not help this. This problem went away after decreasing font size back to 100%.I make regular use of the PDF preview feature, I must now explicitly open each PDF to see the entire thing, which is more wasteful of my time.Can this be fixed ?

    :)

    Increase size of fonts and icons

    You can increase the size of all fonts etc. in Settings, System, Display. Increasing to 125% is a good start on a hi resolution display. Open Display settings by right clicking on the Desktop.

    More settings are available in Ease of Access. Office also has accessibility settings.

    Windows 10 Screen Font Size increase

    Hi Patrick

    If you mean the overall font in Windows 10, the only font size setting in Windows is:

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Ease of Access - Display - Make Text Bigger

    The only other setting in Windows 10 would be to make everything on your screen bigger, including text and graphics

    Open the Settings App, go to System - Display, then increase the Scale percentage

    If you want to increase the size of text in web pages, you can use Ctrl + Plus Symbol to increase web page size
