pointed out the built‑in Magnifier. A few quick controls and practical tips make it far more useful for reading small text, inspecting UI elements, or showing parts of the screen during a demo.

  • Win + + — zoom in
  • Win + - — zoom out
  • Win + Esc — close Magnifier
  • Ctrl + Alt + F — full‑screen view
  • Ctrl + Alt + L — lens view
  • Ctrl + Alt + D — docked view
  • Ctrl + Alt + I — invert colors

Full‑screen magnifies everything and is good for low‑vision reading. Lens gives a movable magnifying window that sits over the pointer. Docked mode pins a zoomed strip (usually across the top) while keeping the rest of the screen at normal scale — useful when you want context plus a readable area.

Troubleshooting and practical tips: use the Magnifier options to choose what it follows (mouse, keyboard focus, or text insertion point) if it feels jumpy. If text looks fuzzy at very high zoom on a high‑DPI display, increase Windows display scaling instead of extreme magnifier levels for crisper UI elements. If Magnifier lags, update the graphics driver or reduce the zoom level. To reduce glare or improve contrast while reading, try Ctrl + Alt + I to invert colors.
