Office 2016 VBA wrong Toolbox icons size in windows 10


Not sure it this is the right place or how to describe my problem. I have a brand new windows 10 and installed Office 2016. Now when I want to develop something in VBA in Excel or Word and I add a UserForm the icons in toolbox which represent the controls to use on the form are too small. The strange thing is, when I first added a form, the toolbox windows was hardly visible (first image). Does anyone know what the problem is? Or better how to solve it.

Initial toolbox Expanded toolbox


Solution

  • I had the same issue with SQL Management Studio. Same odd behaviour. Luckely today I stumbled upon a solution which works perfectly for SMSS. So I guess I can try it voor VBA as well.

    SMSS solution

    This is a nice workaround, but it is not needed anymore, because MS has an updated version available for SMSS which you can find here

    Anyway, I know now what the issue is, so I can try this workaround for other applications too.
