Sticky notes are one of the most used applications available on Windows PC after Notepad. It provides an easy-to-use and clean interface to save notes instantly without any issue.
There are times when we wanted to increase sticky notes font size but was unable to do so. Hence to fix this issue, Microsoft after the Windows 10 Anniversary update, rolled out a new version of Sticky notes under the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). It offers a few fantastic features that were missing in its previous version.
How to Change the Font Style in Windows 11 Sticky Notes?
The quick answer is that you can’t change the font type in sticky notes. It is just a simple and lightweight note-taking app without much customization.
Can I Change the Font Size in Sticky Notes?
The answer is NO. There are no built-in options to increase the font size in Windows 10 or Windows 11 sticky notes. The older version of the sticky notes app has this option. So, you may find related steps and screenshots on the Internet to increase or reduce the font size, but the latest version of the sticky notes app doesn’t have this option.
The newest version of Sticky notes comes with features like a custom colour option and provides insights but missing built-in font size adjustment.
To change the font size of sticky notes, there is currently only one option available, i.e. by Ease of Access option under the control panel.
Using the Ease of Access option, will not only change the font size of the app but for the complete Windows 10 OS.
