Video controls are small - How to resize?

Anonymous

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.

    Shouldn't everything be documented here to follow through from the original issue? Shouldn't it stay here due to the extreme age of the thread to demonstrate that M$ hasn't effectively solved this issue? I am having the same problem on a freshly installed windows 10 pc. Everything looked just fine in 8.1 on this exact same hardware. All drivers are up to date, tried all of the proposed solutions that had no effect on the issue at hand. Someone going to do something about this? It is clearly a wide spread issue that needs to be addressed.

    Absolutely, it's a computer wide issue and it's happening on different programs so it's a W8.1/10 bug, not a specific program issue. I do agree that if you're having a different problem than what we're experiencing then please create a separate thread.

    I'm using Photoshop CC and the resolution seems to be good.. Is your Indesign the same version? I'm thinking the interface may be using the windows native buttons rather than Adobe's in that specific application.. Any how there is a thread soon where about changing the resolution within photoshop and other Adobe applications.. I'll see if I can find it. But I thought that feature was removed in the newer versions. 

    And that's what makes this issue so annoying and interesting, as some programs are fine but then others are way too small, it's just so super picky. As for changing the resolution, text size, try going into preferences/options, look for view or something like that, and look for "change text size", I was able to barely increase text size in a program that's way too small. As for resolution, right click on the desktop icon, and click on Compatibility, you can change the resolution there, but this is going off a different program.

    Also, try getting in touch w/ MS support via the links posted earlier so we can get this problem even more heard.
