Troubleshooting How to fix fonts in windows 10

[Filip]

Hello, i have a question.

I recently uninstalled Avira antivirus in safe mode but safe mode resolution was low and and my whole desktop was filled with icons i.e. there was not space available because it was filled with icons.

when I reverted back in normal mode.

The icons were very small on my desktop.

So in Settings > Display --- under " Scale and layout " i changed it from 100% to 125% so desktop icons can be back to normal like they used to be before.

However, now the windows file info and stuff are bigger i.e. they are not like before. In the SS below you can see what do I mean.

Fix please?

If it's just the desktop icons, then set the scale, which you changed before, back to 100%. And right-click the desktop with your cursor and hover/click on 'view'. There you have the option between small, medium and large icons. If its set to small, pick medium. I hope this is the desired effect you were looking for initially. If not, we need to keep looking.

When i went back to 100% all of the desktop icons got smaller, the desktop itself ( toolbars ) and the file / program windows.

On 100% the file / program windows are fine but the desktop icons are much smaller XD

It wasn't like this before i booted windows in safe mode for the first time.

Why you increased DPI only cause the icons were smaller.

The answer you seek was already provided by @rain2reign

No bro, after i exit safe mode the icons were smaller when i went back to standard mode.

I didn't increase anything, the resolution had always been the same...

 

[forgottenuser79643]

This is what i meant. No change in DPI scaling nor any change in resolution.

You don't get it... let me show it to you by Screenshots.

First screenshot is taken before i opened safe mode for the first time.

When I opened safe mode for hte first time ever the icons were extremely large and the resolution was changed to a smaller one, was this the case?

In safe mode i changed resolution back to the biggest one, is this the issue???

Second picture shows desktop but the not the one i wanted with much smaller icons.

Second picture shows with 125% size BUT IT WAS LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT MY PC, now the problem is that the windows of files are now also bigger, text size, fonts and everything.

Can I keep my Desktop like Desktop02 picture but with smaller text, font and stuff?

Windows loads the barebones minimum in Safe Mode, that's why the resolution is low by default. You don't need to change it.

Safe Mode is a diagnostic startup mode in Windows operating systems that's used as a way to gain limited access to Windows when the operating system won't start normally.

So any solution or fix?

Seriously the windows are so huge it takes half of my screen.

Are you asking for Safe Mode or Normal mode?

Hi, yes for normal mode.

The above tips do not work.

Use Medium icons, and scaling at 100% to keep the smaller font.
