Google Chrome Resolution and Font Enlargement Issues

As everyone of you knows, Google Chrome is one of the most widely used web browsers across the world. It's simple design and high search compatibility makes it easier to use and also to search various information we need across the world. Everything that is listed in the network can be found easily on these web browsers and Google Chrome is no exception. that is why many people, still use Google Chrome as the main and default we browser.

Google chrome is a freeware, easy to use web browser created by Google. It was started in 2008 and can be used on various platforms like Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS, and even Android. And it is this platform compatibility along with an easy user interface that users across the globe are using Google Chrome widely.

Some days before, I got a Google Chrome glitch and was really frustrated about it. It was regarding the Chrome resolution. My system resolution is 1280 x 800 and my Google Chrome font was Medium with 100% Page Zoom. It was the easiest and the correct resolution use for my use. But a  few days back, I opened Google Chrome only to find that my Google Chrome resolution had changed. My system resolution was still the same, so that's not the problem. But my Google Chrome resolution seemed it was somewhat 1024 x 768 and the font size was large, but not in the settings.

First, I tried to keep my page zoom to about 70% and my Font size to Small. It was somewhat Ok, but it was not up to that point like the old one. It was not easy to use. I had to go through a lot to keep on my work. Zoom out for some, zoom in for other, it was really frustrating.

So I searched the internet to find the solutions and these are some that I had found out and so, I thought I would share it with all of you.

Step 1:
So the first step that you can try is:

1. Locate the Google Chrome icon in the installation folder (C:\Program Files x86)\Google\Chrome\Application) or the shortcut icon on the desktop.
2. Right-click on the application icon. Select Properties and select Compatibility tab on the top of the Properties Window.
3. Now select or check the checkbox "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and click OK.
4. Restart Google Chrome Window

Now everything should have turned back to normal.

Step 2:

Now in some Google Chrome application, in the Compatibility tab, of the Properties Window. All the options in the Settings option will be disabled, that means you can't even select nor deselect the option. Even if you try the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" option and select your windows type. Still, in some application, the Settings property won't be enabled. So in such application, the above method can't be used. Uninstalling and installing Google Chrome won't do the trick because it's not because of the application alone.

So in such system, the following method can be used:

1. Locate the Google Chrome icon in the installation folder (C:\Program Files x86)\Google\Chrome\Application) or the shortcut icon on the desktop.
2. Right-click on the application icon. Select Properties. The Properties window appears. Select Shortcut tab on the top of the Properties Window.
3. You can see that the Target option will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
4. Add the following line at the end of the Target text.

   /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

   such that the Target option text will be:

   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

5. Click OK and restart Google Chrome Window

Now, this would have done to solve the issue in Google Chrome applications that users can't select the Compatibility Settings. But remember that this is not permanent. it just resolves the resolution of the application to suit your view.
