I've been using Elements 10 since it appeared, I've always had trouble reading the text on the edit page, but never been able to find a way of increasing the text size. Last week I changed my PC & monitor from W7 to W10Pro, monitor from 23inch to 27inch, hoping the problem would go away with the change, it hasn't, it's gone worse. My new monitor has a res' of 2560 x 1440 (16x9). I've tweaked the settings on the PC to improve the size on most of the programmes I use, but Elements 10 stays persistently small. Anyone got a solution?

Afraid you're out of luck as Adobe didn't introduce UI font scaling until PE13

Probably best to pick up a cheap secondhand copy of a later version......

Hi Jim
After a saga last night & this morning, not being able to find a trusted copy of 13 14 or the latest version of Elements 2019, I found the least expensive & safest way was to buy an upgrade to 2019 from Adobe. That was about midnight, I made the purchase using Paypal, then proceeded to download the upgrade, one hour later the download was at 100%, the icon on my desktop, so I tried to open it, BONK!!! error 16, delete your download & contact support. Logged back on to Adobe, found support, couldn't remember my password, had to change it, 1/2 hr later, got through to support (1.30am). After going through loads of questions support gave me a link & told me to delete the download & re-install from the link. I deleted the upgrade using control panel, & started the upgrade from the link. 45 minutes later, download at 100%, new icon on desktop, clicked to open, BONK!!! error 16 again. After deleting the first download, I had noticed, my original E10 was still installed, could it be that was what was preventing me opening the new version? This time I deleted E10 & 2019, & started a new 2019 download. It was now 3am. I tried to open the 3rd download, BONK!!! error 16. I knew I wouldn't sleep until I had cracked it, so I contacted support again. Eventually they sent another link that had the word CLOUD in it. I assumed I was buying a contract version, but support assured me I wasn't & I clicked the link which opened various instructions for various Windows versions, I picked the W10 64bit which opened another page with a set of instructions which were totally alien having only just upgraded to W10 from W7. At this point, I gave in & told support that what they were asking was outside my capability level. Luckily Brian (Adobe support) was sympathetic & offered to take control of my PC & guide it through the correction process. Visions of my PC's innards being hacked flashed through my mind, but by now I was too knackered to care. Eventually Brian took over & I watched in horror as he delved into my PC, after a good 20 minutes, the new E2019 appeared on the screen, it looked very similar to E10, but was grey, not brown & less cluttered. I said goodbye to Brian, it was now 4am & my wife appeared from the bedroom asking why I wasn't in bed. I gave her a simple explanation & re-opened E2019 & had a quick go at finding how to increase its size on screen, but failed & went to bed.
This morning I had another go & up to now failed. BTW the message from support as to why I couldn't download the programme was that there were a couple of non system plug ins that prevented completion. Thinking back I had bought 2 plug ins years ago for E4 Fog & something else?
So before I resort to Adobe support, can Jim explain how to expand the on screen view? Please.

Just found this thread as I'm going through the same.
Upgraded my PC and Monitor last week and been trying everything to make my Elements usable.
Mine is version 9
Can't bear to go through what stearman65 went through so will bite the bullet and get a more recent version.
