There needs to be a medium font which used to be there for your aging seniors that don't need large, but struggle with the very new small font. The bill minders are too small as well and no way to adjust the font. We need a medium other than regular (small) and large.

    Since I got my new increased bill last week and have been using Quicken since before 1995, it is unbelievable that Quicken is incapable of increasing the font between too big (which they admit isn't workable) and too small. Do they not hire adequate staff that knows how to do this? I guess they don't care about the aging long time customers anymore. We were probably the first ones that used it. I remember using dial up to pay bills with their separate online program in the 90s.

    Depending on your Windows version, your Quicken version, your monitor size and resolution, the following might help:

    If you haven't rebooted Windows since the installation of the latest Quicken update, please do that first and try Quicken again.


    Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)
    Please try the following procedure:
    - 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.


    Some additional tuning suggestions:
    - Ensure that you have the latest available display, monitor or graphics device drivers for Windows installed. The version that comes with the Windows installation material may not be up to date.
    - System requirements: 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, 1280x1024 minimum for Large Fonts settings
    - 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, but try not to exceed 125%
    - Try using the Windows Magnifier: Press the Windows logo key and the = key to open Magnifier. Customize Magnifier to increment Zoom in 25% intervals.
    Also try "dark mode" by using inverted colors.
