Good afternoon everyone …  
can I ask you how to enlarge the view of fonts and icons in Autopsy 4.18? With version 4.15 I don’t have this problem because the font/icon sizes are bigger! Thank you.

Hi,  
Under Tools \> Option \> Application you can find the solution in the last paragragh:  
Make the following changes if the application is hard to navigate in High DPI systems:

1. Right click on the application icon on your Desktop, Start Menu, etc.
2. Choose Properties
3. Go to Compatibility tab
4. Click “Change high DPI settings” button
5. Select “Override high DPI scaling behavior”
6. Change the “Scaling performed by:” drop down box to “System”
7. Restart Autopsy

In addition by changing the Screen settings \> Scale & Layout you can even enlarge the text with 175%

Regards,  
Etienne
