PS Latest Update Shrunk the Menu Titles

Please Help Me.
I just updated Photoshop to the latest CC version. My drop-down menu titles and many (if not all) my other titles/labels got much smaller in size. I.E. They got difficult to read. Preferences>Interface>UI Scaling is still set to 200% (as before my update) and UI Font size is set at Large. I can't fine anything else in "Preferences" to change. I've tried re-starting PS and re-booting and re-starting my computer. When I try changing my computer's Display settings (text size and screen resolution) everything else gets messed up to some degree (that I don't like) and the Photoshop menu titles get larger, I think close to the size they were prior to the Update to the latest version. My screen resolution is set at the recommended 2560 x 1440. Pictures that I have worked on remain a nice size in the UI. When opening PS my "Resent" snapshots are much smaller and more numerous and "List" print size is much smaller.

Help Me Please.

Have you done a restart since installing CC? Your preferences may need a restart before being re-implemented. It looks like your newly installed version has reverted to default settings. And how you view things (size of previews etc) may have to be re-selected.

Try: right click on an open area and see if it opens a size dialog.

I'd suggest you call Adobe Help, they're very good at resolving issues. The phone # is:

I think your preferences got messed when updating. I also had that problem in the past, not the newsiest update. I had to remove all photoshop preferences and then restart and rebuild them. That fixed it. I would try and do this by learning how with YouTube but I suggest first try as mentioned above with Adobe since you are on the monthly plan. Just hope you get connected in a timely manner. They can talk you through it or take control of your computer and fix it.

Restore might be a consideration.

Good idea. If you have a Windows machine you can set it back to a time when everything was okay. THat is provided you have previously allowed the Restore function to save restore points. If you can do that then you can try to reinstall the update and see if it works.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Here is how my problem was solved to an acceptable degree. I'm on a Windows 10 system. In System Display setting I was using a scale setting of 125%. This allowed my Start Page Apps, and probably everything else, to look the way I wanted them to look. If you would like to see my PS settings, see my original post. In Windows Display settings I chose "Custom Scaling". I set the Custom Scaling to 135. That allowed my PS drop-down menu titles and tool symbols located to the left of my work space to be a little larger and easy enough for me to see so that I am comfortable using the menu titles and tool symbols. My Start Page Apps got larger; but, not unruly. At least all the apps stayed in the locations I have had them. My other programs seem to display to my liking, although they are a little bigger. When I tried a Custom Scaling of 140, the locations of my Start Page Apps got too large and they were moved arround on my screen.

I hope this explanation helps others.
Thank you for trying to help me.
