My text on Windows Explorer has suddenly become larger??

[Byron17]

My issue is that when I right-click to get the menu, the menu that comes up is of a abnormally large size for that resolution. It also affects the text labels on my icons.

The size of the icon image hasn't changed. Neither has the size of the taskbar/start menu.

I am using 8.1.


1. NO, it is not a different resolution!

2. Yes, I have tried changing the icon sizes.

3. I have tried the ClearType text, to no avail.

Thank you in advance!

Right click desktop and go to display settings, maybe the DPI slider got changed somehow.

Nah, tried that.

I have now noticed that the computer has a malware by the name of Start Menu (by Pokki).

I have uninstalled this, but the issue still remains. I would say that this thing is the cause, but I don't know what to do about it, there are still some Pokki files in the Local folder though...

Refresh your PC (It's in settings).

OK, it now includes microsoft office programs as the menus at the top is ridiculously sized. It is almost as if I've enabled it for elderly use...

Note the size difference between the taskbar and the rest! 🙁

I am not seeing what you are seeing I guess because it looks normal to me. But do check your display scale to see it if reset to higher then 100%. You can get to the display settings in Settings, System, Display. (disregard the previous as it applies to Windows 10)

You might consider upgrading to Windows 10 however as it does a much better job scaling the display to larger monitors and different size displays.
