Make menus easier to read

The text in Windows menus is too small. Make text larger while keeping the current screen resolution.

Choose where to adjust the size of Windows text.

Lesson notes

Adjust the display for your eyes rather than struggling with small menu text.

  1. Open Settings > Accessibility > Text size. Adjust the sample, then choose Apply.
  2. To enlarge apps and other screen elements too, use Settings > System > Display > Scale.
  3. For a temporary closer look, Windows+Plus opens Magnifier. Windows+Esc closes it.

Settings search can find Text size if your layout differs. Keep the recommended display resolution unless you have a reason to change it.
