   The Display settings will open on your screen.

3. Finally, click on Apply.

This solution will increase the font size in Chrome and for your Windows UI. If it doesn’t work, then try the next solution.

Solution 2: Change The Scaling Manually

If the above solution didn’t work, then try changing the scaling of your screen.

Increasing the scaling should increase the font of the tab. However, take caution when changing the scaling, as incorrect scaling can make the Windows icons blurry.

To change the scaling manually, follow the steps given below:

1. Right-click on the desktop and select the Display settings option on your screen.

2. Click on the Scale under Scale and Layout.

3. Enter any number between 100-500 depending on the font size in the Custom scaling section and click on Apply.

4. You will have to sign out and sign back in to enable the new scaling settings.

After signing in, the tab font size should be increased in Google Chrome. If the font is still not large enough, then increase the scaling.

Through trial and error, you should get the required font size.

If even this doesn’t work, then try the next solution.
