Customize the Display (23H2)

Windows 11 usually does a good job of configuring your PC to use its display at its native resolution and an optimal display scaling value based on its physical size and other factors. But you should still review these settings and ensure that they and other display-related options are configured to your liking.

Most of this work occurs in Display settings, which you can find by opening the Settings app and navigating to System > Display.

There's a quicker way to get to Display settings: Just right-click the Desktop and choose "Display settings" from the context menu that appears.

Change the display resolution
Display settings lets you choose the native resolutions of your display and several other choices, all of which will be lower than the native resolution. You should make sure that this setting is set to your display's native resolution because a lower resolution setting will make everything on-screen look blurry.

To do so, open Display settings and view the "Display resolution" setting in the "Scale & layout" section.

If you find user interface elements to be too small (or too big) at your display's native resolution, you can make them bigger (or smaller) using the display scaling and text sizing settings noted below.
Change the display scaling
Once the display is set properly to its native resolution, you can use the display scaling capabilities in Windows 11--also found under "Scale & layout" in Display settings--to scale all of the user interface elements in the system so that they are sized as you prefer.

Here, for example, you can see the impact of switching a 14-inch Full HD+ display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 from the default display scaling of 150 percent to 100 percent.

The scaling that Windows recommends is denoted with the text "(Recommended)." But feel free to change it to whichever value you prefer: Unlike with the resolution setting, none of the Scale choices will make the display look blurry.
You can also configure a custom scaling size between 100 and 500 percent. This is not generally recommended because these custom sizes can sometimes cut off user interface elements. But if you'd like to give it a shot, select the "Scale" setting in Display settings (not the size drop-down but the setting itself) to navigate to Custom scaling.

Here, you can enter a custom scaling value between 100 and 500 percent. You will need to sign out and then sign back in to see how the setting change impacted the display.
Make text bigger
You can also optionally scale on-screen text independently of other user interface elements. This is useful if you prefer to use a smaller display scaling setting and would like to make just the on-screen text bigger.

To change onscreen text size independently, open Settings and navigate to Accessibility > Text size. (Or, if you're already in Display settings, navigate to Scale > Text size.)
