Windows 10: Windows 11 font/scale large even though settings haven't changed

Hi,Recently windows has displayed enlarged scale/fonts for apps and explorer for no particular reason. I'm unsure if this was related to an update but I am fully up to date and haven't made any changes to my install or configuration. Neither of my display scaling or text scaling has changed 125% and 100%, see attached. What else could cause this?en

Unable to Change Font/Icon size from Setting app in Windows 10

Hi,

The previous dpi scaling on the control panel, do not exist anymore. I can´t adjust nothing.

I´m with the win10 build 16176 and don´t appear same way. Microsoft discontinuous that option and keep just only for adjust in the Modern UI Settings, Why?

It´s do not help. Miss you windows 7 in this case was perfect7.

 

Unable to Change Font/Icon size from Setting app in Windows 10

Old title: Change Font/Icon size

Windows 10 takes care of this issue by supporting per-display DPI scaling to address. By default, Windows 8.1 will choose the optimum DPI scaling value for each display based on the value
chosen for overall scaling in the control panel.

You can change Modern UI text size by following the steps provided below.

• Press Windows key
• Click on Settings.
• Click on System.
• Click on Display.
• Now change the font size according to your choice.

When I attempt to follow these directions, the slider bar to make the font larger is at the far left. I can drag it to the right but as soon as I drop it, it bounces back to the left and therefore does NOT change the font size.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
