Steam window too small windows 10

[Antarctican]

My steam is way too small, and it is hard to see some things if I'm not 5cm away from the screen.

My screen resolution: 2736 x 1824.

Please help me fix this. Feel free to ask questions

1. What is your desktop DPI? 100% or more?
2. Is "Disable DPI scaling" enabled in the compatibility settings for Steam.exe? If yes, disable the setting.

Tried messing with these settings. It appears as thoug neither have an effect on window size

Take your pointer, move it to a corner of the steam window so that you get the "expand" arrow, and then pull the window until it is the size you want

that doesn't increase the text size

Oh I thought you meant the window was too small not the text?

The higher the resolution, the smaller things will appear.

Still, whats your desktop DPI?

desktop dpi is 200%

Go into options in game and set to full screen.

If anyone is still having this problem on Windows 10, as I did, here's the solution:

1. Fully exit Steam (don't just close the window)
2. Open the Steam file directory in File Explorer
3. Right click the file that has a Steam icon and is labeled "GameOverlayUI"
4. Select "Properties" from the right-click options that appear
5. Within the "Properties" window, select the "Compatibility" tab
6. Click the checkbox for "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
7. Click apply, and then restart Steam

Same problem, none of the above options solved the problem. Found out then, that I can toggle between window and full-screen mode with <ALT> <RETURN> .
