Visual Studio 2022 font size is way too small in the tooltips. How to increase that font size?

Recently in my installation of VS2022 the tooltip message font size went microscopic as shown in the clip below. I've gone thru the font size options in the menus but haven't been able to find anything that will change the size.
Any ideas how to get that back to a readable size?

In the "Option" panel go to "Fonts and Colors" and press the button "Use Defaults". Then custom your text size using Ctrl +, Ctrl - or Ctrl Mouse Scroll enter image description here

The cause was an extension that extended the intellisense functionality. The resolution was to remove the suspect extension, restart VS2022, then reinstall the extension.

The errant extension was either CodeRush or CodeMaid.

Go to Tools → Options → Environment → Fonts and Colors and change the drop down to "Editor Tooltip" and then change the "Size" drop down value (the default is 9, yours appears to be set to something like 6):
