  1. Windows font and sizes messed up


    A lot of default font and size settings are messed up for me. The default font appears very skinny, the size is tiny, scroll bars are suddenly so thin you can barely see them and the window title bar size is tiny (probably due to the lower font size).

    I'm a developer myself and know the Windows system very well. I have tried all common settings to fix this. I've had this issue once before in which case I solved it by changing my region back and forth. I think at its core it's a region issue as each region has some default values for fonts that should get applied.

    However I can't get it to work now and having all my apps look so off is really bugging me. Is there are any way to fix/reset this?

    :)
