    post no 998 about the taskbar button icons being too small

    Whilst oscer1 should have referred to right-click on the Taskbar then selecting Taskbar settings, the suggestion was essentially correct [and matches what syngnus21 wrote]. Setting & unsetting the Use small taskbar buttons control drastically alters the size of the icons in the Taskbar.

    [Both these diagrams are 978x920 pixels and were taken one straight after the other on the same display with only that setting changing between them.]
    Use small Taskbar buttons - On

    Use small Taskbar buttons - Off

    If your Taskbar is not responding this way then I can only speculate that your display driver includes a control panel utility that is separately controlling Windows elements such as the taskbar icons.

    The Use small taskbar buttons control has no effect on the size of icons in any Taskbar Toolbars which is what I think you were referring to when you mentioned Quick launch.

    Hi, W,

    Right click on Taskbar > Select Settings

    Scroll down to Use small Task Bar Buttons > Turn it to Off

    See if that works for you.
