Ribbon in the Power Query editor is too small

[mb777]

Hello everyone, I need a bit of help here. I'm working on my 16" laptop (2560x1600) with Windows 11, and the Ribbon interface in the Power Query editor is giving me some trouble. The icons and text are way too small, making it hard for me to navigate and transform data. This issue is only with the Query Editor, everything else is fine. I've tried changing the display settings (text size and scaling), but these adjustments don't seem to affect the Query Editor at all. Any ideas on how I can fix this? This issue is really annoying because the text and icons are barely seen, can't work with transforming data at all. Would appreciate any help, thanks!

Note: I have been searching for hours, seems like it's an issue with the Query Editor itself (the Ribbon to be specific), with high resolution screens. Any display starting from 2k and above will have this issue. There is a temporary acceptable solution by reducing the display to 1920x1080p but the side effects are a blurry screen because it's not the laptop's native display, and there will be borders on the top and bottom, also I'll have to change the display each time I open/close Power BI which is a torture, I have seen posts where many people have been facing the same issue over years with the Query Editor specifically, I hope they fix this, though people are reporting the same issue since 2019 till today.

@ppm1, mb77 was correct. Your keyboard shortcut increases the side of the data in the data preview but does not affect the ribbon text. Is there a way to increase the size of the text in the top ribbon/menu?

The normal windows shortcut of control + mouse-wheel scroll up and your control, Shift, and + do not affect the ribbon text size.

Hi @ppm1 ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add further.

Hi @mb777 ,

You can set the zoom ratio of the monitor.

Hey @Anonymous ,

Thank you for your response, it doesn't work unless I decrease my display to 1920x1200p or 1920x1080. This results in a blurry screen and bad experience because I'll have to change the res and scale each time I open/close Power BI, also this messes up the interface in PostgreSQL and other softwares when using them with PowerBI, however this is still better than not even seeing the icons and texts in the PowerQuery.

That's the only solution when using a high resolution screen/monitor, unless they update it in the future, thanks again and regards.

Try Ctrl-Shift-+ (or -) to resize things in the Query Editor.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately it didn't work, it resizes everything except for the Ribbon.
