Magnifier

Magnifier enlarges what’s on the screen in a special movable window; see
“Magnifier”.

Color Filters

Windows has several built-in color filters to help make the screen clearer,
including for people with specific types of color-blindness. Here are your
choices:

Invert. This reverses all the colors: White goes to black, black
goes to white, blue to orange, and so on. Some people find this

scheme easier to read.

Grayscale. This converts all colors to shades of gray without

changing the contrast. This is also meant for easier reading.

Grayscale inverted. This is the combination of the two previous
options. All colors are gone, and the white text jumps out from the

black and dark-gray screen.

Beneath these choices are three settings specific to color-blindness; they
subtly shift the screen’s color values to make them more distinguishable.
Choose the one that fits:

Red-green (green weak, for deuteranopia).

Red-green (red weak, for protanopia).

Blue-yellow (for tritanopia).

High Contrast

This feature reverses black for white, like in the Invert option in “Color
filters.” But it goes a few steps further—all the way to an all-black

background and just a few very bright colors, eliminating a lot of the visual
noise. This creates a higher-contrast effect that some people find easier on
