    Thank you for the reply. How would I make it smaller? I am at 100% and the options are: 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%.

    If I click 125%, it just makes it bigger.

    Hi HaskinsON

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I am Juliet, an independent advisor. It's my pleasure to help you today.

    If you want to change the size of what you see in Windows, you have two options. You can change the size of what is on screen or change the resolution. Changing the size is usually the best option.

    Press Start , select Settings > System > Display.

    Under Scale and layout, check the setting under Change the size of text, apps, and other items.

    Please follow the link below to get more info about configure size screen windows 10:

    One way is to go Settings, System, Display, Scale and layout and change the %.   

    This changes every thing andyou may have to go back to 100% for some of the apps and programs.
