We got the Creators Update on the main family computer last night, and I have two problems with it!
The 1st and most frivolous is that MS seem to have gotten rid of screensavers, or at least I can't find them anymore. Yeah, yeah, I know they no longer serve a purpose, but I have folders I use for fun holiday screensavers and now I can't use 'em.
The 2nd and more immediate problem is that MS took away the ability to change the tiny default font size on the menu bars, dialog boxes, etc. My eyesight stinks; I need larger type. I looked online for a solution and found 3 workarounds:
1. Zoom the whole screen, which also increases the size of everything else. I don't need to make the icons, graphic, pictures, etc. bigger; I just want to change the font size from a tiny 9 points to a readable 12 points.
2. Do some sort of fiddling with some come. I can't explain this workaround very well, and I certainly can't work with code, but this was suggested by a moderator on the official MS support forum.
3. Find a 3rd party app that do it for me, which means I'd have to trust someone's free app and hope its not whatever-ware-ridden.
I haven't gotten the update on my laptop yet, but it's just a matter of time, and Problem #2 doesn't bode well for it.
P.S. The Creators Update does have at least one semi-cool feature: MS Paint now has a 3D function, if you can figure it out. It probably would've been better if they had added layers instead, but c'est la vie.
