Taskbar icons and associated popups are way to small to see and chose the item for operation?

Or look under Setting, Accessibility/Ease of Access.

If you have more than one monitor, you need to do this for each of them.

InfeRnzo 5 Reputation points2025-03-13T13:02:12.5566667+00:00 Seems the setting from Win10 is no longer available :(
(thank you microsoft)Current workaround:
Set the display scale to one where the icons are smaller (in my case I went from 125% to 100%) and then go to accessibility settings > text size and change the text size (I set it to 125%). Some apps are iffy with this but it works for now. Posting since I didn't see this elsewhere. -
