Hi everyone,

I just came across a random bug in Windows 10 which may affect some of
us with low vision.

If you go into display settings and set the "Change the size of text,
apps and other items" value to 175%, this will make everything in
Windows 10 a bit bigger and easier to see - well it has the side
effect of also stopping File Explorer from working at all - like I
said, random!

The solution then is to set the DPI (that "change the size of ...."
value) to another value, you can either set it down to 150% - I had to
do this, or you can go into the advanced display options (an old
control panel item which didn't work while file explorer was broken)
and from there you can set it anywhere up to 500%. I did do a bit
more investigation on the topic of DPI awhile ago, in Windows 7 and
while some of the steps are a little different, the theory is the
same: https://22point.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/resolution-vs-dpi/

Kind regards

Quentin.
