I am running a dual boot system with 2 identical HDD's and apps. One runs Win 10 Pro and the other Win 11 Pro. On the Win 11 system all my apps have really tiny menus although the dropdown items in the menu are normal. Everything other than the top menus respond to scaling and text size etc. I've tried everything under the sun and every suggestion from Microsoft and their experts but the problem persists. Even ChatGPT wrote a manifest file for DPI scaling to put in each app folder. The problem remains unsolved
 
Tried everything is vague. I suppose you tried 'Scale' as 125% and still menu items are small ? That would be weird scaling is supposed to increase everything, including menu.

Scaling has zero effect on my app menus ... only on everything else
 
Is your display resolution under display settings set to the "recommended" size?
Also are you using a microsoft diplay driver or a proprietary display driver (Nvidia or AMD)?
 
There is a registry hack that will allow you to change the text size - Have a look at this article -Click HERE

The Change only the text size option was turned off in Windows 10 Creators Update. Unfortunately, the setting was not supported throughout the entire system. For example, it didn’t work with the Start menu, Cortana, Edge and some applications.

For an alternative method of changing your text size, you can use the Scale and layout options within Settings > Display. Use the dropdown underChange the size of text, apps, and other items to make things bigger or smaller.

If you’d prefer your text, apps, and other items to be even bigger or smaller, click theCustom scaling feature to go outside the ranges that Windows recommends for your hardware’s screen size and resolution.

If the text looks fuzzy or blurry when you use custom scaling, this might happen if the custom size is not set to a 25% increment. For example, if your custom scaling is set to 157%, try changing it to 150% or 175%.

Note: Microsoft recommends keeping your display resolution set to the “recommended” value. If you use custom scaling to go outside the range that Windows recommends, some text, apps, and other items may become unreadable. If you’re not able to read the screen well enough to restore your display settings, try starting Narrator by pressing the Windows logo key + Enter. Then press Tab to navigate through the interface until you find the right option for restoring your display settings.
