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.

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.

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

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.
