@zoocitytown

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

The Riddle_Decipher is at your service.

 

I understand you want to increase the font size on the toolbar and the taskbar,

I'll be glad to help you out, however, for an accurate solution I will need more details:

 

What is the product number of your product? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 

Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on the HP Forums?

 

In the meantime, please try the steps below:

 

Step 1: Open Display Settings

If you'd like to adjust the size and scale of fonts and icons on your screen, you just need to access the right menu. To begin, press the Windows button on your keyboard, then type "Display Settings" and hit Enter.

 

You can also access Display settings by right-clicking an empty area on your Desktop.

 

Step 2: Adjust the Font Size

Next up, use the provided slider to "Change the size of text, apps, and other items," which ranges from the default 100% up to a much larger 175%.

 

Step 3: Apply Your Changes & Log Out

Once you've got the font and icon size set to your liking, click the "Apply" button directly beneath the slider to make your changes permanent.

 

At this point, you'll see a message informing you that you'll need to log out of your account temporarily so that Windows can load up the resized fonts and icons. Click "Sign out now" on this message to take care of that.

 

Step 4: Log Back in to See the Results

To wrap things up, simply log back into your Windows account, and the fonts and icons on your screen will be using their new sizes. If you'd like to try a different percentage, simply repeat Steps 2 through 4 as mentioned above.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance 😉
