Video controls are small - How to resize?

I have gone through this entire discussion and I am quite surprised and disappointed that Microsoft engineers have not understood the basic problem that has been repeatedly pointed out by the original posted. Instead, they have given tons of other solutions, all of which have been tried by the original poster and have not worked - his original problem remains unresolved.

I am posting here because I came to this thread after facing the exact same problem. I purchased a new Del XPS 13 (2015) touch screen last month with Windows 8.1. I was extremely surprised to see the TINY buttons in Windows Media Player and VLC Player. These playback buttons are SO small they simply cannot be used. This does not seem to be a problem with resolution, drivers or screen settings - as all 3 are optimally set for my new laptop.

To help the Microsoft engineers understand this problem (since they could not fully understand it when the original poster shared it) I am attaching 3 screenshots where I have highlighted the problem in red and yellow boxes.

It seems to be a problem in the applications and how they are configured on Windows 8.1

Thanks for the reply, but I don't get how creating a new user account will change the video control size, and can I not use a local account? I don't want a microsoft account sign in, just a local account. I had this problem in both a microsoft account and a local account before. Plus w/ creating a new user account and deleting this one I'm going to have to re-install my programs which is going to be a pain. I'll create a new user account but I won't delete this one.

So I created a new account like you said, but problem was still there in that user account.

I strongly agree with that. We need to take action asap so we can use our new devices to its extent before they're outdated. I dont have a twitter account, may someone please tweet this on Microsoft or Windows twitter page.

Thanks! 

That is a good idea, get to their support every way you can, phone, email, Twitter, and Facebook. I have Twitter so I'll tweet at 'em. If you contact them, be sure to include the link to this thread.

I can't seem to find phone, email, so be on the lookout for that.

I've been doing some research and came across this, but this is only for W10 people....

If anyone else has a possible solution, don't be shy to post it.

Actually, it's regular programs too, forgot them I guess, like bing desktop, it's definitely smaller than on my old laptop, and media programs like vlc player, windows media player controls are all very small. So I think it is now a windows issue as it's affecting  programs and windows programs.
