Press Windows key + Esc to close Magnifier and return the screen to its original size. ^1^
Other useful Magnifier shortcuts:
- Ctrl + Alt + Minus (−): Switch between the selected magnification and 1× (normal size).
- Windows key + Minus (−): Gradually zoom out.
- Windows key + Plus (+): Turn Magnifier on or zoom in.
- Ctrl + Alt + mouse wheel: Zoom in or out with the mouse.
If Windows key + Esc does nothing, the page may have been enlarged within an individual application rather than with Windows Magnifier. In that case, use that application’s zoom control—often shown as a percentage such as 125%—and set it to 100%.
