how to make the text bold on the desktop

Hi Bajkai. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Adjusting Font size and boldness was removed in Fall Creators Update Version 1709. Now the best options are here:

See Option Two here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/19768-chang...
No need to mess around with the registry. The downloadable .reg files will do all the work for you. You may need to test a few different sizes until you find one that looks best to you.

You can also download and install the respected Winaero Tweaker which can adjust Fonts in other ways for you. This is illustrated at the bottom of this tutorial: https://winaero.com/blog/icons-text-size-window...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi bajkai ,Microsoft removed the option to adjust the font sizes in the Creators Update

Most Users are using a great small free utility called Winaero Tweaker, which will let you adjust font sizes anywhere in Windows 10.

To adjust the font and font size in File Explorer:
Open Winaero Tweaker
On the left click Icons in the Advanced Appearance Settings Section
Then click 'Change Font'
Set your Font Size . . . etc.
Click Apply Changes

Then either log out or restart your PC for the change(s) to take effect
