Menu and admin font too small

Post by babrees »

I have just upgraded to VideoStudio Pro 2023 and when I open it the fonts are TINY and I simply can't read them (see attached)

PC running Windows 10
Screen resolution 3840 x 2160
Size of text, apps etc set to 175%

How can I enlarge this?

Welcome to the forums!

I also have a 4K monitor, and found this solution which at least works for me. I have only used it since VS 2021, so I don't know if it will work with VS2019 which I see is what you are using. However you might want to try it.

Right click on the desktop icon for VS and choose Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab. Then down at the bottom of that tab click on the button saying "Change high DPI settings". On the new dialogue box which appears tick the box down towards the bottom: "Override high DPI scaling behavior". And in the small dropdown menu immediately below that, choose "Application". Then OK out of both boxes. Open VS to see if things are bigger.
