* **The Zoom feature is enabled.** Windows has a built-in Zoom feature that can be enabled to zoom in and out on the screen. To disable this feature, open the Settings app and go to **Accessibility** - **Magnifier**. Under **Zoom level**, move the slider to the lowest setting. Under **Advanced**, uncheck the box next to **Enable magnifier when I press the Windows key and +**.
