It would be best if you scaled your display.

The high-resolution screens with many modern laptops are bright and vibrant but contain so many pixels that your icons and fonts could look too small. 

On the other hand, your laptop can contain fonts and icons that are bigger than you need, thus wasting screen space. Using a Windows feature called display scaling, you can regulate the size of desktop elements. You can increase the scale to 125 or 150 percent if the on-screen content is too small. However, you can reduce that value to 100% if you want to accommodate more information on the display at once. How? Read on.

1. Select Display Settings by performing a right-click on your desktop.

On the desktop, select Display settings from the context menu.

2. Modify the "Change the size of text, apps, etc." menu option. One hundred percent is the smallest you can get—There was an immediately noticeable shift in the size of some menus.

3. Reboot your computer or log out and log back in.
