I have done it, pushing the slide to max. The font is still small on bottom bar of the desktop

Hello @satimis,

You might increase your DPI scaling percentage level below just a bit more to see if that may help. It does make everything appear larger though.

Just adjust the font settings for each item under Advance Appearance Settings to what you like. Click the Apply Changes button to set the change.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Performed steps increasing DPI to 125%, fonts of desktop icons increased but the font size of bottom bar still unchanged. I have tried 150% not much different.

Did as advised.

Tried all items having slides, no response on adjusting their slides

If it doesn't make everything else too large for you, you might bump up DPI another notch to see how it looks.

What fonts are you trying to change? You need to change the icon font for the desktop icons. See the screenshot for my desktop icons.

Change to font size - 28

I found out the trick. I have to sign out and sign in again to make the change.
But the fonts on bottom menu bar remain the same

Now I couldn't make any change. Maybe Winaero Tweaker takes the control

You can change the taskbar icon size in WinAeroTweaker too. What display resolution and monitor size are you using? You could increase the overall scale setting. I use 125% for a 27" monitor at 2560x1440 pixels.
