220-1102 Question 564
Single answerSettingsA user with a Windows 11 laptop says videos are difficult to watch because text and buttons are tiny on the built-in high-resolution display. The user does not want the screen resolution lowered because images become blurry. You need to adjust the system using the Windows Settings app so that apps and text are easier to see while keeping the display at its native resolution. Which action should you take?
- A
Open Settings > System > Display and increase the Scale percentage
- B
Open Settings > System > Display and lower the Display resolution
- C
Open Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects and turn on Animation effects
- D
Open Settings > Personalization > Colors and switch to Dark mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The best solution is to adjust display scaling in the Windows Settings app. On modern high-resolution displays, especially on laptops with small screens, interface elements can appear too small when the system is set to 100% scaling. Increasing the Scale value under Settings > System > Display makes text, icons, and apps larger while preserving the panel's native resolution and sharpness. This aligns with Microsoft best practices for high-DPI displays, where scaling is preferred over reducing resolution. Lowering resolution is a common but less desirable workaround because it can introduce blurriness and reduce usable visual quality.
- A. Correct.
Correct. In Windows 11, Settings > System > Display includes the Scale setting, which increases the size of text, apps, and other items without changing the monitor's native resolution. This is the recommended way to make content easier to read on high-DPI displays while preserving image sharpness.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Lowering the display resolution can make on-screen items appear larger, but it often reduces image clarity on LCD and laptop panels because the display is no longer using its native resolution. The scenario specifically states the user does not want resolution reduced because it makes images blurry.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Animation effects control visual motion such as transitions and window animations. They do not meaningfully increase the size of text, icons, or application interface elements. A candidate might choose this if they confuse accessibility visuals with display scaling.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Dark mode changes the color theme of Windows and supported apps. It may improve comfort for some users in low-light environments, but it does not enlarge text or interface elements. This is a plausible distractor because it is a legitimate Settings change related to visibility, but it does not solve the stated problem.
