How to enlarge menus and icons i version 2022

The icon and menu text (2mm) is so small I can't see them. I use Photoshop elements 2022 on a 14" PC with a resolution 2240 x 1400, Windows 11.

I tried to enlarge them Edit/Preferences/Display & Cursors, UI Scale factor to 200% but then they are too big and I can't see all the icons. It is impossible to scroll down to see them.  My earlier version of photoshop was ok on a 13.3” PC. Now it is impossible to use photoshop. 

Is there a way to set them to ex. 150% (like in older versions) or another way to do this? I can see on the photoshop community that there is many users that have the same problem.

@jeannie_3845, try the following:

 

  • Right-click on your desktop and select Display Settings from the context menu.
  • Make sure that your screen is set to the recommended resolution.
  • Change the UI Scale to a higher percentage e.g. 125%
