How to fix text size in apps eg Outlook after windows update

Hi @lyndel small

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

I totally understand how a sudden change in text size after a Windows update can make it harder to use your apps comfortably. 

Here are a few things you can try to adjust the text size in Outlook and other Microsoft apps: 

1. Adjust scaling settings in Windows

• Go to Settings > System > Display. 
• Under Scale and layout, increase the Scale percentage to 125% or 150%. This will make everything on your screen, including text, appear larger.

2. Change text size

Go to Start > Settings > Accessibility > Text size. 

• Use the slider to increase the text size, then click Apply.

3. Check Outlook’s zoom level   

If emails in Outlook still look too small, open a message and press Ctrl + Scroll Wheel or Ctrl + Plus (+) to zoom in. 

Let me know if any of these steps help, or if the issue continues. I’d be happy to assist further!
