Issue
On Windows 10 computers with high resolution screens, fonts and icons can appear very small. Usually, changing the scaling in Display Settings helps with this. However, some programs do not inherit the Windows settings and must be changed manually. In certain programs, the icons that are associated with buttons usually along the top of the program are very small, to the point that they are difficult to clicked. For example, in Word, this might be the "Paste" button. Most programs (including the Office suite) will use the scaling options set in the Windows Display Settings, so this issue may not occur often. This issue is most likely to occur with instrument or lab software. e.g. Bruker Analysis Studio.
