Video controls are small - How to resize?

I just got a new computer and every video I've watched the video controls (play button, video timeline, expand, etc) are all very small, on every website and on different video players. The video player size is fine, just not the controls. I've tried changing the resolution, it just changes the screen size, doesn't work. IE video controls seem to ok, but Firefox is where the issue is.

Laptop is a HP Envy 14 sleekbook.

    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 We need to take action asap so we can use our new devices to its extent before they're outdated.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!

    I suggest we tweet this post to https://twitter.com/Windows

    The problem with this kind of forums is that they do not escalate these kind of issues and i see that the original post is one year old

    Hello Guys

    Im suffering the same issue

    I have windows 10 and even the native windows applications have the same issue

    For example the Windows Media player has very small icons for the controls.

    Im attaching to this post an image showing the difference between firefox buttons in green and windows media player in red.

    Guys from Microsoft please give us a right answer to fix this. I'm not using any 3rd party software, the laptop is a brand new dell inspiron 7000, my drivers and microsoft sw are up to date and do not suggest to decrease my 4K resolution capabilities so your operative system and apps displays properly

    Please do not try to win some time with standard troubleshooting for newbies. How can we fix this?

    I really cannot believe that a windows 10 version displays worst than a windows 7

    Now i get why all my friends told me not to upgrade

    I have the same problem with an Asus 13.3 inch high-res netbook, a Signature Edition version (that is, bought from Microsoft itself and supposedly optimized) with Windows 10. I'm really surprised there isn't a fix for this by now. Does MS monitor this forum for issues that need to be addressed? If not, how do we report issues in such a way that they get noticed?

    I'm going to go blind trying to use certain applications...

    ooh... Wow, really? The issue still persists in W10? I've been wanting to upgrade from 8.1 for just this reason hoping that it will fix the problem but I have to backup all my files first which is a pain.

    The good news is that 1, every time someone posts it pushes it to the top of the MS forums so if a Q posted more than a yr ago is constantly being pushed to the top hopefully someone from MS will take note, 2, there's almost 900 views!! You take the number of posts and add that to the views that's going to be over 1,000 people who have this problem soon.

    So if anyone has this problem too, please reply so we can keep this topic going and up on top also to annoy the MS guy enough that this gets passed along.

    I also would like to point out that in my 1st post it was just a Firefox problem but it's other programs as well. Also that some in browser video players seem to have updated so video controls are suddenly bigger, like Youtube for example now has much bigger buttons.
