How to change UI text size in Photoshop 2021?

My newly installed Photoshop 2021 has very tiny text in the toolbar.

I went to Edit/Preferences/Interface and changed the UI Font Size to Large, as shown below. I've clicked OK, closed Photoshop, and reopened it - and the US text is still really small. How do I fix it?

See: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/kb/hidpi-retina.html

 

Photoshop offers a full range of choices for UI scaling—from 100% through 400% in 25% increments.

Photoshop adjusts its resolution based on your Windows settings:

 

  • In Windows, select Start > Settings > System > Display. Now, under Scale And Layout, choose a scaling factor for each of your displays. See Microsoft Support for View display settings in Windows 10.

 

In addition, you can adjust per-monitor scaling across monitors with different scaling factors. This flexibility ensures that a high resolution (HiDPI) laptop works seamlessly alongside a lower-resolution desktop monitor, or vice versa. For example, one of your monitors can have a scale factor of 175%, while another monitor can have a scale factor of 400%. So, you can choose either the highest-end 13-inch laptops with 4k screens, the more affordable 1080p models, or tap into 8k desktop monitors, and still have an uncompromised experience within Photoshop.

@Layna15A9  I also tick the box below it - Scale UI to Font and that works for me.

I've tried it both ways, Scale UI ticked and not. It still won't work.

You still haven't answered my question.  Which operating system and version?
