Why is my whole screen zoomed in?
Consider the Windows Magnifier Tool – If the images on the desktop are larger than usual, the problem could be the zoom settings in Windows. Specifically, Windows Magnifier is most likely turned on. Microsoft explains that the Windows Magnifier tool is primarily designed to enlarge certain parts of the screen to increase legibility.
- It’s part of the Ease of Access center on a Windows computer.
- Windows Magnifier is broken down into three modes: Full-screen mode, Lens mode and Docked mode.
- If the Magnifier is set to Full-screen mode, the entire screen is magnified.
- Your operating system is most likely using this mode if the desktop is zoomed in.
If you don’t want to use Windows Magnifier, pressing the “Windows” and “Esc” keys together automatically disables it. If you navigate to the “Ease of Access” center in the Windows Settings app, you can customize the magnifier and change options such as the zoom level, lens size and zoom increment.
Full-Screen Mode – 
While Windows 10 is designed to be completely user-friendly with a mouse, including resizing windows to your preferred setting, there may be times you want to use the keyboard for efficiency. Depending on the application you are using to switch to full-screen mode, the method of switching can differ from one application to the next.
Not to mention, other shortcuts may be disabled with each use. A very common shortcut, particularly for browsers, is the F11 key, It can take your screen into and out of full-screen mode quickly and easily. When using a document type of application, like Word, pressing the WINKEY and the up arrow can maximize your window for you.
Conversely, the down arrow will reduce the window’s size for a look at what is behind it. Another very useful tool in this series of shortcut keys is the WINKEY with the left or right arrows. These will shift the screen you are working on to either the left or the right side of the screen so you can access other windows at the same time.
How do I shrink my screen back to normal size using keyboard on Mac?
Comments: 3 Responses to “How Do I Return the Screen To Normal Size?” –
Hard to tell what is happening based on that description. Perhaps you are using System Preferences, Accessibility, Zoom? You could turn it off if you don’t need it. Or use the controls to get back to 100%. So look in System Preferences, Accessibility, Zoom and see if you have those keyboard shortcuts enabled. If so, then use the Zoom out shortcut to go back toward 100%, or Toggle zoom to turn it off. Or, if you have scroll gestures enabled, then you can use that to zoom back to 100%. For Macs, see Smart Zoom in Mouse or Keyboard preferences. First tap zooms, second tap un-zooms.
