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.

Good luck. Microsoft does not seem willing to accept that there is a widespread problem with many programs control buttons being too small when using newer computers including Microsoft computers and Microsoft programs.

Same issue here on brand new Dell XPS 15.

Can we at least get a reply from a different MS representative?
