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.

If you know any other methods, please feel free to comment below.

Resolve Windows Automatic Rebooting

Sometimes after a system failure or a system crash you may find that the windows OS keeps rebooting on and on. The system may open only up to the windows loading and then reboots. Yes, it is a problem happened to most PC in the world. You may sometimes worry about this or may get irritated. You may also try out all that you can to bring this back to normal. Sometimes you can or on the other hand, sometimes you cannot.

Some of the things that lead to this problem are:

• May be you clicked on the power switch to shut down fast. This saves time, but destroys the life of your computer. Because, one, by doing this you may corrupt the hard disk. The Hard disk as all of you is a magnetic device, so it needs time to save all the files correctly. That is why, it takes time to shut down when you click the Turn off button because the computer is saving the files and correcting all the work it had done. So if we shut down by clicking the power switch, we may risk losing the hard disk because the hard disk suddenly stops while working which may lead to system failure. So don't ever switch off like that. And all of you should use UPS also, because sudden power cuts can sometimes lead to hard disk damage. 

• Check your power supply. This problem may also arise due to dying power supply. Try checking your power supply whether it is in good condition and it still doesn't tell you; check the system with a spare one.

• It may be also due to the computer temperature. Always have in mind to have fans, heat sink or air compressor in your CPU cabinet. Make sure that these components work perfectly. Increase in work load means increase in production of heat, which may damage your processor. Keep your processor safe. Without your CPU, your computer is just like running dead. You need a processor for the smooth working of your PC. So keep in mind to keep safe of your CPU.

• Protect your cabinet from dust. Sometimes dust can also lead to damage in motherboard components. So it is better to clean your cabinet once in a while. Keep in mind to switch off your PC completely while cleaning. We do not want any damage to ourselves also. Right! 

Don't worry if your computer keeps on rebooting. You have many options to try out. First check all the system components. 

Method 1:

If you are using Windows 7 keep in mind that the problem is set by default to automatically restart the operating system after a system failure.

To avoid system reboot in the future, you have to cancel automatic reboot. Click Start - Computer - right click on Properties and click on Advanced System Settings.
 
In the advanced option, click Settings on Startup and Recovery.


In the startup and recovery settings, uncheck the Automatically restart for system failure and click Ok.


Method 2:

Here are some of the things to check while system rebooting.

• Check all your components are correct. No lose wire or something like that.

• Check you're HDD, RAM, power supply and other drives. Also your fans and heat sink.

• Remove the HDD and try to boot it from a bootable DVD.

• If you have a graphics card, remove it and try to connect the monitor to the onboard video chipset.

• Check the CPU temperature in BIOS.

• Check whether your CPU voltage is high enough to power up the system.

• It may be due to a system virus, try to get rid of it.

• Do a system repair by clicking the F8 button on restart. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next. On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

• Insert the Windows installation disc or a system repair disc and try to repair it.

• Troubleshoot your computer in safe mode. 

• If your problem doesn't end, try formatting and reinstalling the windows OS once more.
