That is the problem with high-resolution monitors: everything becomes very small. I advise clients to test out a high-resolution monitor (or laptop with same) in a store before buying. Many find that high-resolution panels make everything too small for them to read. 1920 x 1080 is better for many people.
There are two settings that may help you: Scale; and Make text bigger.
Settings | System | Display | Scale and layout: set a higher %,. If you click "Advanced scaling settings", you can select custom scaling value. This will change the size of text, apps and other items.
You can also try: Ease of Access | Display | Make text bigger. However, I find that many apps don't respect that setting, so text in those apps doesn't enlarge. The Display Scale setting may have greater benefit for you.
If you cannot find large values that work for you, you could try to lower the monitor's resolution. However, when using other than an LCD panel's native resolution, quality may suffer.
