How to set Text-Size of Windows 10 login-/ lock-screen

Hello Community,

based on a Tablet PC, wich is multiused, with different DPI-Scaling-Options, the loginscreen is sometimes to small for a smart usability. For example, the "login option"-Text ("Anmeldeoption" in german) is a hard challange, to hit with the finger.

There is a screen-magnifier, but this isn't an option for this solution.

Is there a posibility, to set the Text-Size of input-boxes and the "login option"-Text to a readable size?

Greetings,
Tim D.

    Hello Eleven,

    thanks for your answer, but the loginscreen stays in his small Text-Size, although i set a bigger text.

    To hit the "login option"-Text ("Anmeldeoption" in german) is the same challange, as before.

    I set this option, but it doesn't work.

    My own expirience says: if you logout after changed DPI-Settings (different to "Ease of Access>Make text bigger") to a hight percentage (at Tablet to 150% for example), the login-Screen-Text is bigger.

    Annoying, that some users need the Tablet-DPI-Setting with 100% scaling.

    So i think, the only way is to rewrite my application, that needs this 100% DPI-scaling, into 150% DPI-scaling requirement.

    Much thank to your answer, Eleven.
