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 just purchased a new Surface Pro 4 about a week ago and have the same problem; the Windows Media Player controls for both audio and video playback are so small as to be useless. Also linked an icon in the Taskbar and that is also noticably smaller than the other icons. I also have gone through this discussion and see no solutions. Gonna take it back to the Microsoft store and see if they know what's what. Microsoft seems to have a history of "If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is." By the way, I do not have this problem with my custom built desk computer, updated from WinXP to 7 to 10. And both machines tell me I'm running the latest version of WMP.

    You can change the size of the icons with this article here. Also be sure to open the feedback hub in the app store and send in your problem. But yea, please report back, it'd be interesting to see what they have to say.

    Use Magnifier.  Pin it to your Taskbar and anywhere else you need to for it to be accessible.

    You know a link would be helpful  What the **** is the "Feedback Hub?"

    Well you know politeness and a simple knowledge of google would be helpful too, but to get there just simply open Start menu, search "feedback hub" and open it.
