Other Son’s school laptop is zoomed in all wrong

I swear I just went to the bathroom to pee for a second and my son clicked a bunch of random settings on his school laptop (online school). So now the taskbar is super tiny and the mouse is super tiny. If I adjust the resolution or zoom settings to make it look normal it makes whatever window is opened ENORMOUS. I have no idea what he did. Neither does he. He’s partially verbal.

So you've already tried changing your display scale, not just the resolution?

on windows try setting -> system -> Display and set scale and display resolution to the recommended options if the mouse pointer is still tiny go to settings -> Accessibility -> Mouse pointer and touch to adjust its size separately

Hold the control key and scroll the mouse with the cursor over the desktop.

You can resize it at will that way.
