Default Underlining of spelling mistakes

Hello,
I have a problem in Word with the underlining of spelling mistakes:


They are underlined by a wavy red line. But this line is so fine that it is barely visible.
Is there a setting to increase its thickness?
Notes:
- It seems to be an office problem because I have the same problem in PowerPoint. But I don't have it in my mailing software (Thunderbird) where the underlining is normal (thicker).
- If I make a screen copy of my Word page, in the screen copy the underlining is normal!
Thank you for your help
Kindly

Change your display settings.
Or you can use F7 to sequentially go through what has been marked.

Thank you for your response.
What display setting are you talking about?
- A setting in the View menu? Which one?
- A setting in the Tools menu/Options/View Tab? Which one?
Thank you for this clarification

Windows display resolution.

What do you mean by "Windows display resolution"? A setting at Start Menu/Settings/Display? (I haven't found any that have an influence on the thickness of the underlining)
Anyway, I don't think it's a Windows problem, but rather an Office problem, because as I said:
- I have the same problem in PowerPoint.
- I do not have the problem in my mailing software (Thunderbird) where the underlining is normal (thicker).
- If I make a screen copy of the Word page where the underlining is abnormally unseen, in the screen copy the underlining is normal (visible)

I am not saying it is a Windows problem.
I know of no way to change the thickness within Office.
If you change your screen resolution in Windows to a lower resolution, it may mean you see it better within Office. If not, you can change it back.
