Not able to zoom in and out in windows 10 Desktop

1

I have a dell computer.
I am not able to zoom in and out using, ‘ctrl’ + ‘+’ or ‘ctrl’ + ‘Mouse wheel forward’ and zooming out by doing the opposite, ie: - instead of + and Mouse wheel backward instead of Mouse wheel forward.
This is the same for every program(notepad, cmd prompt, powershell etc.).
It(the zooming shortcut)works well in:-
Google Chrome and Wordpad ONLY.
Could someone please help me out

Not all applications support a “zoom” feature. The command prompt and powershell do not, for example. You would need to use your computer’s magnifier for that (or use a terminal application that does allow for increasing the text size).

I have no idea what would prevent your computer from ever registering the Ctrl +/-/scroll, but if that really is the case then you would need to get help from Dell tech support on that one.

A quick Google search says that the functionality was only introduced in a recent update. I do not have this update yet. You may not either.

OOO. Thanks for researching! I think I’ll get it now because my computer is updating.
I think that feature is for windows home.
I use windows pro.

I got the feature after an update.
