Windows – How to reset the desktop zoom level to its default in Windows

desktopwindowswindows 10zoom

I had an incident where my CTRL key was stuck and the mouse wheel was adjusting the zoom level of my Windows 10 desktop. I would like to reset the zoom level back to its default, but CTRL-0 doesn't seem to work on the Windows desktop. I have no way of knowing (besides eyeballing) if my desktop is back to the default zoom level when I adjust it. Is there any way of resetting it to the default?

If you mean the icon sizes just right click on the Desktop, go to View, and change to medium.

If you mean your resolution got screwed up, right click on the Desktop and go into your screen resolution settings.

If you accidentally opened the magnifier utility, you can CTRL+ALT+DEL and you should be able to close the interface.
