Hi @Ellen69,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your MSN screen appears too small on your HP PC running Windows 8.1, here are a few ways to restore it to normal size:

1: Use Browser Zoom Controls

If you're viewing MSN in a browser (like Edge, Chrome, or Firefox):

  • Press Ctrl + 0 → Resets zoom to 100%.
  • Press Ctrl + + → Zooms in.
  • Press Ctrl + - → Zooms out.

You can also:

  • Click the three dots or lines in the top-right corner of the browser.
  • Look for the Zoom setting and adjust it to 100%.


2: Adjust Display Scaling

If everything on your screen looks small (not just MSN):

  1. Right-click on the desktop and choose Screen resolution or Display settings.
  2. Click Make text and other items larger or smaller.
  3. Choose 100% (default) or a larger setting if needed.
  4. Click Apply and restart if prompted.


3: Check MSN App Settings (if using the MSN app)

If you're using the MSN News or Weather app:

  • Open the app.
  • Look for a settings gear icon or zoom option within the app.
  • Reset or adjust the zoom level.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
