Or the user has poor eyesight, so he confused the shield icon (part of the icon) with a dot. It should be clarified that this can be configured in the additional properties of a shortcut or program. In a standard situation, this is understandable by the presence of a UAC prompt when the program starts. This is not indicated by an icon/dot/other symbol.
Confused - I didn't' see it as a shield. Had a stroke a few years back and I have double vision as a result. Even looking through 1 eye two sharp images are overlapped - uncorrectable. Makes working on things hard too; nothing is where it appears to be. Edit: spelling/grammar
Not sure if it will help. You can try lowering the screen resolution and/or zooming in. Also try suitable colors in the accessibility options if the current ones are not optimal. And consider relying more on more understandable things (labels, sound, large pictures) than on hard-to-understand data. Although Windows 11 is developed in this direction, it is impossible for developers to understand and implement everything.
Thanks, never even thought about the resolution. Duh. Using a 27" monitor w/ 1980 x 1020. Only issue is some programs I use require this as min. I can always change it when I use them. Has anyone ever mentioned getting old sucks?
You don't need to lower the resolution (not recommended anyway as it would not run on its native res anymore). Just increase the DPI a little (maybe to 125%), this will scale everything up without changing the resolution.
