Unfortunately, there are vast differences between Microsoft's vision for its operating systems and what users actually want. It often feels like Windows keeps losing customization options, or they end up buried in some dark corner of the interface. For example, if you want to change the font size in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and also customize their type in windows and desktop icons, everything becomes easier with Advanced System Font Changer.
From a certain point of view, it's not hard to understand why Redmond makes these choices. On one hand, it seeks to offer a relatively consistent experience; on the other, it aims not to waste resources developing elements for a handful of users. The problem is that it does a poor job on both fronts. Windows 10 and Windows 11 still carry an identity crisis, millions of users demand basic interface features (that were available in previous versions), and the idea of making Windows simpler by removing features is absurd.
For example, in the past, I really liked changing the font size and type in windows and on the desktop. Segoe UI becomes boring over time, and something as simple as using Verdana or Tahoma can improve the interface. And with Microsoft being Microsoft, that option disappeared. Fortunately, there are tools like Advanced System Font Changer, which lets us change the font size in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and replace them in a couple of clicks.
Change the font size and type in Windows 10 and Windows 11
The interface of Advanced System Font Changer helps us adjust six sections of the operating system: Title bar, Menu, Message box, Secondary title, Icons, and Status bar. There we can specify both the type and size of the font, and whether to use its bold version. A positive point of the program is the possibility of saving profiles to change and/or restore previous configurations even faster. If you don't like the appearance you've chosen, click on the Default option in the Load menu, and that will take you back to the beginning.
Other available options are changes to the minimum height of the menu and title, as well as the size of the scroll bar, but I recommend treading a little more carefully here. In fact, the Advanced menu comes disabled by default, and I haven't found many reasons to re-enable it. The icons on the inside are to change the program's interface to dark mode, recall profiles, modify the size of all entries on the fly, enable bold, and reload options.
To conclude, it's necessary to note that Advanced System Font Changer is not freeware. The executable works as a 31-day trialware, which then requires an annual subscription of ten dollars, but its trial period is more than enough to change the font size in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
