Start Menu size text too small on 14 inch laptop 1920 X 1080p
Hi there
Got a nice light small laptop(screen 14 inch - enough for travelling) which has a native resolution of 1080 X 1920 --much better than the usual 768 X 1366 - especially when viewing movies etc. The display is really a significant improvement over the bog standard 768 X 1366 and really noticeable also when typing word documents or reading text.
(For travelling etc the 14 inch size is far more convenient than the more usual 16 - 17 inch sizes).
However the windows standard texts are tiny (boxes, drop down menus etc etc). -- I fixed most of it by adjusting text size settings and display to 150% -- the start menu items still have too small text.
If I increase the display resolution to 175% things like file explorer fail to start when clicked and the screen refreshes periodically - so set back to 150%.
Any body know of a way to increase text size on the Start menu.
Funnily enough when you use the WIN+X key / right mouse click on start button the text sizes in that list are fine --it's just the standard start menu when you click the windows start button.
I'm not sure what it is with I.T developers but it seems every time you get a decent improvement in the graphics on a computer the text sizes usually become so tiny as to be unreadable --I suppose it's difficult for a bank of developers all to work with 60 inch screens !!!!! but surely some of them must be able to test stuff out on decent bits of kit.
Hooked up to a large 4K external display the first time I needed a Magnifying glass to see any text at all -- rather ironic - having a great screen but using really old technology to view anything on it (a Magnifying glass) !!!!.
Running Windows 10 pro X-64 -- graphics driver Intel HD 520 latest version. W10 latest updates applied.
