Windows 10: Windows 11 magnifier options?

What options are there for Windows 11 magnifier magnification increments? It seems to go up or down only in degrees of 100%. I'd like to zoom, for example, 75%. Thank you.

magnifier on Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to turn off the magnifier and check if it helps.

• Go to “settings” and click on “ease of access”.
• Then under the “magnifier” option “turn off” it.

Or also you can press the keys “Windows+Esc” and the magnifier will be closed.

For more information regarding magnifier refer to the below article and check if it helps.

Note: Also applies to Windows 10.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Windows 10 Magnifier - settings / options missing

I think you may have mistyped Magnifier window instead of Magnifier Options. The Magnifier window had always been visible, just not the Magnifier Options. Win-Tab / Alt-Tab displayed the Magnifier window (while running) but not Magnifier Options.

No. I described exactly what I saw (for exactly the scenario that I was responding to). When the Magnifier Options dialog window was open and Task View was made, the Magnifier Options dialog window was not a thumbnail but still a dialog window and as such
obscured one of the Task View thumbnails.

Talk about being on the same page! I mentioned right from the start that I would be using Lens mode! You gave no clue that Docked mode should be part of a simulation and frankly I'm in no mood to test it for you.

Perhaps you could press Ctrl-Alt-L and follow my simulation and find out?

Correct. As worked here as well, but does nothing to bring back the Magnifying Glass and Magnifier Options.

You have missed the point. Keyboard focus goes to the "missing" Magnifier Options dialog window and that is what can be moved sight unseen. Please try my simulation of a Lens mode scenario. Then if a Docked scenario is even more complicated as you seem
to be implying a first step in your workaround would be to get into Lens mode (with Ctrl-Alt-L).



Good luck

Robert
