While changing the Scale settings does increase the size of the text in Windows, it also increases the size of apps and everything else. And this can lead to big problems when task buttons like &#8220;Apply&#8221;, &#8220;OK&#8221;, and &#8220;Cancel&#8221; are no longer visible because the scaling is set too large and the buttons are off the screen and can&#8217;t be used. You don&#8217;t want to mess with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So&#8230;If you&#8217;re having trouble reading the text in Windows 10 or Windows 11 then this tip is for you.
