Be able to change the screen size and text size.

This was perfectly fine until the latest update which my computer did on 29/10/24. I have a 4K monitor, and everything has been tiny since the last update. Even the instructions/warning that the screen was not at 100% was not readable because the box was too small for the text. Why?

Idea Benefit Save eyesight. Its tiny, and how can you not have this feature already.
How do you solve for this problem today? How can I? Everything else is fine and looks normal, I either mess up everything for one or one for everything.

    certainly in this day and age feel like the forms should be able to handle a resize etc. especially given some users now use screens as big as 50" so seems ridiculous to not be able to scale / resize and sages forms not to clash/ wrap fields ?

    My workaround to Sage 200 display scaling issues (on a VM, via Remote Desktop Connection) has been to use it exclusively on my laptop screen [set to Scale 100%, Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 (Recommended)]. My laptop is connected to an external 27" 4K screen, but I reserve that for other apps.

    The update has messed up the display settings. The work a round is not ideal as it requires resettimg everytime you login. Inaddition, certain modules do not show full screen (meaning you have to adjust to see certain information. A transaction that should take 2 minutes to process now has taken 30 minutes (include call to Sage technical). Unacceptable. This need to fixed asap.

    YES! This!!! I can't see anything anymore. At least make it possible for the users to zoom their own screen in if necessary.
