Correct answer John Waller

There is no UI scaling in CS6 for Windows.

You'll either have to

Get used to it
Decrease the resolution in Windows to continue with CS6
Join the Cloud and use the UI scaling feature in Photoshop CC.

If you mean the interface (tools etc) , and you are using the current CC version of Photoshop :

Go to Preferences , Interface, UI scaling. You have a choice of 100% or 200%. Auto just picks one of those two, There is currently no "in between" setting

You will need to restart Photoshop after clicking OK.

I just did the registry workaround and it works great! i have a high resolution laptop screen and the tool icons are perfectly readable.

Registry hack works! Thanks, from my tired eyes.

An Icon has few pixels you can enlarge the a little bit however if you enlarge then really big the quality will not be good. Also check the icon file well, some icon files contain multiple versions of the Icon that have different sizes..
