    Larger Text in Kiosk Mode

    Hello all,

    I'm struggling to get my text to display larger/get the app to appear larger when using kiosk mode in Windows 10 on my Surface Go. I am using the kiosk as a single webpage browser for our online library catalog.

    Apparently, the text settings in "Ease of Access" do not apply to the Kiosk user.

    Any advice?

    Thank you!

    Everything is larger

    I'm running Windows 10.0.18362, build 18362. Yesterday (10/28/19), all of a sudden, everything became about 20% larger (that's just a guesstimate). I know about CTRL + adjust-the-mouse-wheel to decrease/increase contents of windows and icons. I'm talking
    about the other stuff that is not influenced by that: taskbar, toolbars, the ribbon in Office apps, menus in other apps. Even the bubbles on the screensaver are larger than they were before this "event." In Settings I've checked "scale and layout," which is
    at 100% and "display resolution," which is at the recommended 1600 x 900.

    Everything is in proportion -- just somewhat larger than it was. It's like the enlargement fairy came and tapped my computer with her wand, and POOF! Surely I inadvertently did something, but I don't know what. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing
    them. Thanks.

    text larger

    How can I make text larger only? I have tried to follow the instructions below:

    Change the size of text in Windows 10. ... In Windows: Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > Display. To
    make just the text on your screen larger, adjust the slider under
    Make text bigger

    But when I open the Display window the first thing up is: Make Everything Bigger, and the slider bar is not there any where on the Display window. Only to make all apps and text bigger is showing.
