It seems if it is set to 150% in the old control panel settings the dropdown doesn't work. Any other settting it does.
If you then use the new settings app (settings/system/display) and move the slider from "Custom" to any of the pre-defined options then it sets the control panel scaling back to 150% and you can't use the drop down again.
Very confusing having these duplicate places doing almost but not quite the same thing. I suppose it will pass in time.
Normally, after you set it to 125% or 150% etc... click Apply then Windows will ask you to sign out. After signing back in, those options will be available.
FYI, I had this happened with one of my PC. After installation and activated but most of the options are still grayed out and that included some of Windows apps such as Store, Mail .... Ended up re-installing Windows and everything is normal again.

Ok, here's thing the way I see it. I set the custom scaling setting at 125%, then logged out and in. My text sizing option does indeed work as seen below in the 2nd snip. It doesn't show with the snips, but the second snip is at 125% scaling whereas the first is at 100%.
Notice in the "Change size of items" paragraph I've highlighted in the 1st snip. In the parenthesis it states "Not recommended" and then states "Setting custom levels can lead to unexpected behavior on some display." This leads me to believe that the text size option may be blocked after scaling level has been increased due to the size of one's monitor or even the type of monitor. Perhaps also that some drivers may not support this feature at 125% scaling. I dual monitor with a 27" and a 19".
That's the only thing I can think of, unless someone knows otherwise.
