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.

        That solution does not work either :( it changes text size EVERYWHERE not in the boxes. It has to be a win11 problem.

        Sort it out MICROSOFT people pay good money to upgrade and they are no better off :(:(

        With these silly SMALL boxes that anyone with poorer eyesight can"t even see..
