I've put this is "Errors and Troubleshooting" because I couldn't find a better category. I'm running Quicken Premier R64.35. Just a few days ago, I moved to Windows 11 and the display is a mess. I run on a laptop, and it has a 16" display, but I have an attached 24" display which I generally use instead of the laptop screen. I can increase the size of the font in the register, but everything else is way too tiny: menus, account list, icons, etc. Large fonts makes the register display huge, but doesn't address the whole screen. Is there any way of fixing this? I remember having similar problems when Windows 10 came in, but the system settings I used for that don't work for Win 11. How is everyone else dealing with this?

    Try adjusting the display Resolution and Scale settings found under Windows Settings > System > Display. Every computer is different, but on mine they are both set to the recommended settings where the main laptop's display resolution is 1920x1080 with scale of 125%, and the external monitor's resolution is 1920x1080 with scale of 100%. You may have to make adjustments to find your preference.

    You're right that every system is a bit different. I'm set at the recommended resolution of 2560x1440. I upped the scale to 150% which has helped a little, but all the text still looks really pixelated and some of it is almost too small to read. There are problems with other apps besides Quicken but each one seems to be a different solution. I also did the Cleartype process, but that really didn't help at all.

    150%? wow! By the way there should not be any difference between Win10 & Win11. If other programs have similar issues as well it indicates that some setting on your system is just not right IMO. And you can try the DPI setting as well in your old post which you may have already. Beyond that I am out of ideas, sorry.
