    To make the URL line (address bar) larger in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, you can try the following methods:

    1. Zooming the Browser: You can zoom in on the entire browser interface, which will also enlarge the address bar. To do this, press Ctrl and + (plus) on your keyboard to zoom in. You can reset the zoom level to 100% by pressing Ctrl + 0.
    2. Changing Display Settings: If you want a more permanent solution, you can adjust your Windows display settings. Right-click on your desktop, select Display settings, and then adjust the scaling under Scale and layout. Increasing the scaling percentage will make all elements, including the address bar, larger.
    3. Using High Contrast Mode: If you have difficulty seeing the address bar, consider enabling high contrast mode in Windows settings, which can enhance visibility.

    These methods should help you see the URL line better in Microsoft Edge.

    Thanks for reaching out Dorothy,

    I understand wanting a larger address bar. Edge does not allow resizing of just the URL bar; its size corresponds to your Windows display scaling. To enlarge it, change your display settings under Settings > System > Display and increase the Scale percentage. Alternatively, the Zoom feature in Edge can increase the size of page content, excluding the bar. Are you using a high-resolution monitor, or is the text small everywhere?

    Best
