I was having the same issue and I could solve the problem by customizing the display scaling in windows 10, 64 bits. It is extremelly simple and it works for a single user. Just follow the instructions below and you will have all the Form Controls, sheet shapes, figures and ActiveX Controls back to their original size. No need to coding or doing advanced trickery/wizardry/hacks. If the provided link is broken, just repeat these steps.

1. To Set Display Custom Scaling in Windows 10, you need to do the following.

   Open Settings.

2. Go to Settings - Display.
3. On the left, click the Custom Scaling link under "Scale and Layout".

It is an old post, but I hope it helps anyone who is dealing with this annoying and stressing Excel problem.
