    After latest Win10 update, I can't resize my desktop icons/font


    I'm on a Win10 64bit HP computer . I have some visual problems and had my desktop icons set to xtra large and the font to a larger size as well.
    I recently received the latest update and my icons and fonts went to a smaller size.
    When I right click on the desktop and pick view, the largest I can make my icons now are large, not xtra large and I can't find a way to increase the font size.
    I did go into settings and clicked to increase font size there and picked the size I wanted, but it's not showing on my desktop!
    And I don't want to use that magnifier... it's horrid.

    Thanks!! :)

    I use an app that can adjust the font size on several items. As you can see in the picture, the title bar for all my windows are set as that Bold font with the font size of 12. There's a Icon setting in there that, I believe, changes the size of the text of icons.

    Thanks, pepanee!! I'll have to try that!!!
    I tried adding high contrast... it looked good on my desktop, but when I opened an app (like my recipe app) and it looked awful! lol.
