Windows 10: Windows 10 menu and system fonts, changing

So, Windows 10 updated overnight and all of my menu and window fonts are tiny and hard to read. The discussion on using display settings to change font size turns out to have no effect.

Here is my work-around that fixed the problem:


1. In File Explorer, right click on "This PC" and select "Properties", when that window opens, select "Advanced System Settings"





2. Then, in the "System Properties" menu select "Advanced" and on that tab, select "Settings"





3. On this menu select the tab for "Visual Effects" and select the option "Adjust for best appearance".





When I opened this tab it originally had the "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer.", which was what was wrong. I can only presume it happened with an update overnight, but this fixed my issue.

Windows 10 changing Font

I cannot change the system fonts in Windows 10. I have gone in and changed the title bars, etc, but there are still some fonts that are too small for my eyes. One example is my Outlook address book. Anyone have any suggestions please?
