This article explains how to automatically start Magnifier before or after signing into Windows.
Windows has a Magnifier that enlarges part or all of your screen, allowing you to see words and images more clearly.
The Magnifier app in Windows functions like a magnifying glass by creating a zoomed-in view of items on your screen, making it easier to see and read. This tool is especially beneficial for individuals with poor vision or those who find it difficult to see objects clearly on their computer displays.
If individuals with low vision frequently use a computer, enabling the Magnifier automatically could be beneficial.
If you use a mouse, select Start > Settings > Accessibility > Magnifier. Next, select Magnifier, select or unselect the Start Magnifier after sign-in , and Start Magnifier before sign-in checkboxes according to your preferences.
If you are using a Narrator and a keyboard:
- Press the Windows logo key + Ctrl + M to open the Magnifier settings view.
- Press the Tab key until you hear: “Magnifier, toggle switch.” Press the Tab key once. You hear: “Show all settings.” Press Enter, and then press the Tab key until you hear “Start Magnifier after sign-in” or “Start Magnifier before sign-in,” followed by ”unchecked” or “checked.”
