How to Increase font size on the home screen and other screens within Quickbooks desktop 2024?

Let’s first modify your display and view preferences within your QuickBooks Desktop program, Dgwen.
 
If you have a newer high-resolution monitor, let’s adjust the default display settings in QuickBooks. To do this:
 
  1. Close the QBDT program. Then, open the Windows Start menu and enter QuickBooks into the search bar.
  2. From there, right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Open file location.
  3. In the folder, right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and choose Properties.
  4. Go to the Compatibility tab and select the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox. You can also choose Change high DPI settings and then select Override high DPI scaling behavior.
  5. Once done, click Apply and OK.
 
On top of that, let’s adjust your view preferences in the program:
 
  1. In your QBDT account, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
  2. Choose Desktop View from the list and click on the My Preferences tab.
  3. In the View section, select the One Window option. Then, OK.

If the issue persists, follow Step 3 outlined in this article to change your Windows DPI settings: Fix screen issues in QuickBooks Desktop. Once you've made the adjustments, please ensure to close and reopen your company file to fully apply the changes.
 
I’ll be on this thread anytime you require further assistance.
