  @daytripperdiva - this is a well known and documented issue with a version of Windows 10 that is fully or properly updated, AND you have a super hi-res monitor. MTC is an old application and therefore it is not able to scale the icons up so you can see them. There are many, many other posts on this, but the first step is to ensure you have the Windows creator update which came out last fall. Then you need to ensure that your video card/monitor drivers are updated with the manufacturer's drivers, not what Windows wants to use.

  Try this method to Override High DPI Scaling Behaviour
  Depending of the version of windows the screen may look a little different
  If this has no effect just repeat but uncheck the Override High DPI Scaling Behaviour

  BTW I have a fully updated version of Windows - that apparently takes care of itself. What's a Creator update?

  I not quite sure what you mean by this "BTW I have a fully updated version of Windows - that apparently takes care of itself"
  
  Creator updates is larger updates windows roll out the contain new functions , features and fixes
  The latest is update was 1803

  @Crazy_Mr_Zing - likely in reference to my reply whereby I advise that you should have a fully updated Windows to avoid this issue, or updating may take care of this issue, and the fact that daytripper asked "What's a Creator update?" kind of refutes her other comment "BTW I have a fully updated version of Windows" - cause when you are updated to Windows Creator, it tells you so!!!

  Still confused
  So Does this mean the override method is not required after creator update 1803 ?

  @Crazy_Mr_Zing - apparently, yes. those options for adjustment were made available in the first Windows Creator release. I do believe that if you removed MTC, applied the Windows update and the installed MTC again, it would behave.
