This tutorial will show you how to change the zoom increment of Magnifier for your account in Windows 11.
Magnifier makes part or all of your screen bigger so you can see words and images better.
You can change the Magnifier zoom increment to choose how much the screen enlargement level changes when you zoom in and out with Magnifier.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26300.8346 (Experimental 25H2), Microsoft has added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom.
