Windows has a variety of features to help you customize your screen to fit your needs and preferences. If you’re using a laptop, for example, you might want to change the size of your monitor. You can also adjust the color of your screen, as well as apply different filters. These can make colors easier to see for people who suffer from various types of color blindness or vision impairment.
To change your display, click Start in the lower left corner and select Settings > System. In the left menu, you’ll find options for making text and other items larger or smaller, and changing your screen resolution.
Changing the size of your screen can help you see more clearly, especially when reading text or navigating through applications and programs. You can also resize windows or apps by clicking the taskbar and selecting Show windows side by side.
If you’re a Windows user, you can also use Snap to position two windows or applications on the screen at once. In Windows 11, you can choose between several snap window layouts by hovering your mouse over the Maximize icon in the upper-right corner.
You can also drag the dividing line between the windows or apps to resize them simultaneously. This is helpful if you’re working on multiple tasks and want to see the entire screen for one task and manage a smaller view for the other.
When you’re using your computer, it’s important to keep the screen in good condition. A screen that’s dirty or damaged can cause problems with your computer’s performance, including crashing or freezing.
To clean your screen, use the built-in cleaning tools in Windows. These are available from the Control Panel, or you can download them for free from Microsoft’s website.
Refresh Rate
If your screen’s refresh rate is too low, you may notice that images and text appear fuzzy or pixelated. To increase the refresh rate, you can either restart your computer or manually adjust the monitor’s settings.
Magnify Your Screen
If you have trouble viewing text or graphics, consider using the magnification feature in your system’s settings. You can reduce the magnification by clicking ‘Minus’ or by pressing the ‘Windows’ key + ‘-‘ (minus).
Turn on Full Screen and Lens Mode:
If your desktop is too small for your eyes, try turning on the Full Screen and Lens modes. Both of these options are found under the Views menu, and can be changed by clicking on them or by pressing ‘Ctrl’ + ‘Alt’ + ‘F’.
Alternatively, you can move your monitor to a new location. You can do this by dragging the window or application to the side of the screen or by moving your mouse to an empty area near the top of the window or application and dragging it to the desired location.
