Font size in register labels

I would like to make the account names / labels in the register (Banking etc), and the headings across the top (File Edit, Update, References etc.) larger.

I can increase the font size of the date screens (Edit>Preferences>Register>Fonts) but I cannot see how to increase the labels.

I am using Windows 11, and have tried changing the Text Size settings, but it does not affect the labels.

Help will be appreciated!

    Have you tried View | Large Fonts?

    Just wondering …
    could this be a problem caused by using hi-res display monitors or more than one monitor?

    Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

    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.
      or
    • Use Windows File Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken\ and right-click qw.exe
    • Now click Properties.
    • Select the Compatibility tab.
    • Uncheck all settings.
    • Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
    • Windows 10, 11: Click "Change high DPI settings". Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application" (also try the other available options repeating the entire procedure!). Click OK.
      Users with high resolution monitors, 3840x2160 with 225% scaling, try "System (Enhanced)"
      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.
    • Reboot Windows.

    Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.
