Change Text Size in Windows 11
The default size of Text across Windows System and Apps is set to 10/11 points, which appears to suit many users, who do not find the need to change the Text Size.
However, there are also users who find it difficult to read the Text in its default size, without bending over or using other methods to get closer to the screen.
Over a period of time, this can often lead to eye strain, neck strain, backpain, headache, loss of productivity and also lead to unwanted errors in work.
Hence, Windows 11 provides the option to change the font size on your computer accross the system, including all Apps and programs.
