Search Payment or Deposit box keeps getting smaller windows 10

Erica Eckberg

Does anybody know how to get this back to normal size it's really tiny and seems to be happening with quicken updates. I would like to get it back to normal and have tried font and other things and that hasn't worked

That's about the size of it. On my laptop screen, this box is about 2 inches wide.

For more complicated searches I usually go to Edit > Find/Replace.

With the exception of text displayed in banking account registers, Quicken uses Windows defaults based on your settings in Control Panel / Display.

Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of older Quicken versions please try the following:

• Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
• Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
• In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
  or
• Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.
• Now click Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck all settings.
• Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". 
  Windows 10:  Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application"  (also try the other available options!)
• Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.
• Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
• Click Apply and exit.
• Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

• Try this workaround for 4k monitors

• Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
• Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
• Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
• If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level.

This didn't do anything for my issue

Same bug exists in Windows 7 with a standard 1920 x 1080 monitor. I don't believe this is fixable on the user side. I even tried making all window title bars taller in the Personalization Control Panel, which did not solve this.

(Even the label itself is wrong because the global search box will find transfers, as well as payments and deposits. It should just say "Search transactions".)
