Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Please clarify the following:

Is this behavior occurring system-wide, or only in browsers or other specific applications?

If it's system-wide, and the display scaling setting is already at 100%, check the "Text size" setting.

Press "Windows + I" and select "Accessibility > Text size";
Under "Text size", move the slider to a position that makes the preview text smaller. When you reach the desired size, click "Apply".

If that doesn't help, please let me know the current resolution that Windows is set to in the display settings.

Also. What is the manufacturer and model of your computer?

If you prefer, you can share a screenshot of your system information.

Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.

Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

To adjust the text size in Windows 11, you can use the following steps:

Open the Settings app.
Navigate to Ease of Access.
Click on Display.
Use the Make text bigger slider to adjust the text size. You can move the slider to increase or decrease the text size according to your preference.
After adjusting, make sure to click Apply to save the changes.

This will help you resize the text across the operating system and applications, making it easier to fit necessary information on your screen.

If you are experiencing issues with images being too large, you may also want to check your display settings to ensure that the scaling is set appropriately for your screen resolution.

The resolution is located in the same place as the scale. Didn't you check the scale beforehand?

I'll help you with that:

Press "Windows + I" and select "System > Display";

The recommended scaling is 100%, and for most monitors, the optimal resolution is 1920 × 1080. However, some displays may require a higher resolution depending on their specifications.

If you prefer, you can share a screenshot of the current configuration being displayed to you on this screen.

Use the shortcut Windows + Shift + S to use the screenshot tool.

Be sure to censor any personal information. The Microsoft Community is public.

One more detail: Dell has several Inspiron models. I need to know the exact model to give you the proper guidance if you need to update any drivers. If you don't know the model, share a screenshot of the system information as I instructed.

I await your reply.

Hi David,

The problem is system wide including my home page display. The images are too large and doesn't allow normal amount of information on a page. The "text size" is at the lowest level. Our computer is a Dell Inspiron. I don't know how to check for resolution.

HELP!
