Does it not produce any error messages for you?

What larger text????

There was an issue when the text size was set more than 100%. The mouse pointer didn't actually align with what it appeared to align with. For example, on the spreadsheets pinned to EXCEL on the taskbar, the mouse pointer looked like it was going to open sheet "A", but actually open a sheet a few entries down.

Ah. Thankfully, I didn't have that issue.

I had this issue when having scaling on and remoting into my computer. Havent tried with scaling enabled if this issue got fixed for this build.

Fixed on mine - I stay at 125% and all good.

I never changed mine from 125% so I musta been one of the lucky ones.

I think the issue was that there were some settings missing, and once you went to fiddle with the fonts and scaling, some registry values got stored and problem got solved. This is how I understood the comments for the previous release. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@doriandiaconu Any progress on your installation issue?

EDIT: I think you are having the same issue as I had when upgrading to 16241.1001 from 15063.483. I could not get my system upgraded from WU nor using ISO. I never figured out what was wrong so I clean installed everything.

The setting at issue is not a 'text size' setting - it's the general display scaling. When you set the scale to 125%, everything is enlarged, not just text. (You can set the font size for various elements of desktop applications - win32 apps - by editing the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics], but that's a different thing altogether, and has no effect on appy apps. There seems to be no way to adjust font sizes in appy apps other than wholesale scaling of the entire display.)
