Hi, FrustratedBookkeeper.
Welcome to the Community. I'm here to assist you with your concern about the payroll pop-up window.
You can try pressing the Ctrl key and the minus (-) key simultaneously on your keyboard to zoom out and make the page smaller. However, if the issue continues, you'll need to double-check your default settings in QuickBooks.
Here's how to change display settings in QBDT:
- Close QuickBooks Desktop.
- Open the Windows Start menu.
- Type "QuickBooks" into the search. Then right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Open file location.
- In the folder, right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab and choose Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox. You can also select Change high DPI settings and then Override high DPI scaling behavior.
- Select Apply, then OK.
Once done, open QuickBooks and check to see if it looks better. If you're getting the same results, I recommend checking out the QuickBooks Desktop display issues and proceed to Step 2.
