This is most likely due to your display size.

 

Try this:

-Close out of Alteryx

-Right click on the the desktop icon and click "properties"

-Go to "Compatibility" tab

-Click "Change High DPI Settings" button

-UN-check "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in settings" 

-Check "Override high DPI Scaling Behavior; scaling performed by:" and select "System"

-Click "Apply" then click OK. 

 

You can also open the start menu, type "scaling" and open that settings box. You probably have something larger than 100% and/or make the text bigger selected. Change these to the default options and that should resolve your issue.

this is a Windows scaling issue. Open the start menu, type "scaling" and open that settings box. You probably have something larger than 100% and/or make the text bigger selected. Change these to the default options and that should resolve your issue.

Try looking at your Display Settings/Properties. Specifically, the size of text and display resolution settings.

 

 
 

 

Also, it doesn't look like the links I previously added saved. Previous information came from these posts:
