Solved Windows 8.1 start menu icons & text shrunk

The icons on my start menu and text were about right size but today something happened and they got a lot smaller. Now the text is hard to read with a mag glass.

Anyone know how to make them big again?

Hello oldspook,

If you mean on your Start screen, then you might see if turning on "Make everything on your screen bigger" may work for you.

Hope this helps,

I have windows 8.1, I can't find Make everything on your screen bigger. Was it changed in the 8.1 upgrade?

Check OPTION TWO or OPTION THREE in the tutorial posted above to help.

Thanks option 2 worked. Now it is back to the way it was, I wonder how it got changed.

You're most welcome.

It could have been changed by mistake, or possibly an update reset it.
