How do I change the text size for all Win11 programs, such as File Explorer. I've seen options such as --- "Start > Settings > Accessibility > Text size" --- which is not an option ----"Start > Settings" --- does not give "Accessibility" as a choice.

Wintools Font Changer. This is a portable app. You do not install it. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for a link to download. It's in blue.

Advanced System Font Changer - WinTools.Info​

Change font size for ICON. This also changes file explorer font size. Be sure to change gradually until you get an acceptable size.

Why is Wintools preferable to the option in Windows to change the text size? I changed the text size and it seems to be working ok except for when layouts become jumbled :)Thanks.
