    Font and Icon size

    Hi Vickie,

    It's possible that some settings were accidentally changed, affecting your icons and font size. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

    • Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
      Start
      , type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    As initial recommendation, we suggest following these steps to change the icon size:

    • Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
    • Select View.
    • Choose Medium icons or Small icons, whichever you prefer more.

    Additionally, you can change the display size of texts and other items by following these steps:

    • Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
    • Click Display settings.
    • Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, drag the slider over to 100%.
    • If the slider is already on 100%, click Advanced display settings.
    • Under Resolution, choose the Recommended option from the drop-down choices.

    We'll wait for your response to our questions and the results of the initial troubleshooting.

    Font size on windows 10 desktop displays

    I recently got Windows 10 on my PC and the text (font) size for the desktop icons and system windows is too small. I have been trying to increase the font size when I came across your posted answer. However, both of your suggestions only make the icons
    larger but do not enlarge the size of the text/font. How can I increase the size of the text/font? (I can't believe MS removed all of the convenient display personalization capabilities!)

    the font size of desktop icons and task bar icon is very small, how can i make it bigger?

    I need help increasing the font size of my desktop icons; it is very small. I made the icon size bigger by right-clicking on the desktop and clicking the view button and large icon, but the font size within the icon is very small. When I right click then I noticed that the options font size is also very very small. Please help.
