Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Thanks, this thing worked:))))
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
All Office application display the menus, ribbons, sidebars as way too large.
It is not an issue where going to Settings->Display->Scale & Layout, setting to 100% will fix it. I already have that set. I have also toggled the 'When using multiple displays options' several times within Office applications settings.
Everything else is just great with my display. All text within the viewing panes of Office applications is fine. For instance, in Outlook, the ribbon is huge, the sidebar is huge, I can only see about 4 emails at a time listed. However, where it displays a full email on the right, that text is just fine. If I lower the zoom level it gets too small to read. Also that zoom level does not affect the size of the ribbon or side bar. Same issue in Excel. Ribbon is huge, but the cells of the spreadsheet are normal size.
The file explorer menus and ribbon also display fine. All other non-office applications display fine.
It was working fine. I must have pressed some button inadvertently which increased the size of these items. Or maybe it was because I temporarily hooked my laptop up to a different monitor.

Wow! this worked like a charm. Tyvm.
I am having similar problem when working on office web on Chrome. Literally everything is bigger. When I open the same page in Edge the size is fine.
The Ribbon takes nearly half of the screen that I cannot work at all. And there's nothing I can change on the WebUI
Any Suggestion will be appreciated
---- Resolved by changing the brower zooming setting. For anyone reading this ctrl + scrolling will change the scaling in the documentation you open, not the scaling of browser
This 100% fixed my issue.
Davesnothere31 - thank you - this worked for me on a Windows 10 x64 with M365 apps all patched. seems like a microsoft update messed up all his office app toolbars and they all looked huge.. this reg hack fixed it after rebooting the machine.
