Deleted ,

Thanx for reply! I've tried the fixes - they all seem to cause problems in another area. EG, right now the context menuS are illegible. same for dialogue boxes. This current disaster {tiny text} seemed to occur spontaneously this AM.

Thanx again for the directions.

I must try something else - please advise

    Advanced Windows scaling settings, I think this is a good idea because it has a direct impact on context, dialogs, etc.

    You have to manually enter From 115% to a maximum of 145%, too high magnification is also a problem. then log out to make the changes 🙂

    " To scale up everything on your screen, select the Start button, then select Settings > System > Display, and change the Scale drop-down menu under Scale & Layout "

        yes, but 115%-145%, that's my suggestion,

        It works on most apps.
