How to Make Text Larger in Windows 11

Increase text size without necessarily changing the size of every screen element.

Quick Answer

Open Settings → Accessibility → Text size, adjust the slider, and apply the change.

Step by Step

  1. Save any open work before making changes that could close programs or restart Windows.
  2. Open Settings → Accessibility → Text size, adjust the slider, and apply the change.
  3. Test the result before making additional changes.
  4. If the problem remains, note any exact error message before restarting or changing more settings.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Windows menus can vary slightly by edition and update level.
  • Avoid registry edits, third-party cleanup utilities, or disabling security features for ordinary troubleshooting unless there is a specific verified reason.
