In the modern tech landscape, accessibility tools play a critical role in ensuring everyone can use digital devices effectively. This is particularly true for Windows 11 users, where a recent enhancement to the Magnifier feature promises to make life a little easier for those who rely on zooming...
Maybe a month or so, Windows Magnifier on both my work computer and my home computer developed a problem. When I start my computer, and get to the Windows desktop, clicking on the Magnifier icon that I have pinned to the taskbar does nothing. Technically, it shows a horizontal line over the icon...

Suddenly I can't use Alt-E combinations in any program (e.g. excel where I use it constantly in many common combinations like Alt-e-f, alt-e-s). Even as I post this, if I hit alt-e I get full-screen crosshairs that can be moved with my mouse, and just below and to the right of the crosshair...
I have 2 screens and one screen has a 6 point font unique number that I must read every 5 min. - the eyestrain is killing me!! anyone know of a magnifying glass that can be placed on the screen and not move (and not follow the curser)?
Hi everyone. This is my first post in this site. I hope I'm in the right place to post this thread.

I have what I think is an Ease of Access problem on a laptop that was bought in March of this year. When I start it up in the morning or any time during the day after it has been shut down or I have restarted, I have to click on the icon that is down in the lower left which says "Ease of Access"...
For many of us, the Windows Magnifier tool is something we’ve occasionally activated by accident. There’s a lot more to Magnifier in Windows 7 then just a big box that shows pixellated mouse movement, however. It makes for a great laptop-in-bed helper, for example. (more…)
