    Desktop Icon Resized Itself

    Hi Toby,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about Desktop Icon Resized.

    There are instances when we are on the desktop and the CTRL key was held and the mouse wheel was scrolled, the icons will really resize. On the Desktop, can you try to press and hold the CTRL key and move the mouse wheel up and down to try to resize the desktop
    icons. You may also right-click on an empty space of the desktop and hover on "View" and choose the size of the desktop icons whether small, medium or large icons.

    I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.
