Windows 10: Bug: Tiny Taskbar Icons - Windows 10

Hi,


I'm using Windows 10 on a MS Surface Pro as a company provided device for work.


I pin a lot of icons to the taskbar and use the option 'Use small taskbar buttons'.

When that works fine, it's great, but recently the taskbar icons have been tiny! (example below)





If I fiddle with the Display settings > Scale and layout > Change the size of text, apps and other items;

from 100% to 125%, then back to 100% it partly fixes the issue. The pinned taskbar icons go back to normal but the icons for network, sound, power etc. are still extremely small. (example below)




In our environment, AppSense saves our settings and not sure if this makes a difference.


I also have tiny icons and very thin scroll bars in Explorer and Outlook 2016. I took the screenshot whilst the mouse was hovering over the scroll bar so this is it at it's 'expanded' size, otherwise it's even slimmer. The icons get fixed at the same time when fiddling with the 100% to 125% etc. as above but the scroll bar remains very slim - no change.





OS Version: 10.0.16299 N/A Build 16299

Any guidance appreciated!

NIGHTMARE icon in windows taskbar

Ok ... this is really an annoying thingy in Windows Vista that till today. My top wish list is to solve this !!! *Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:

See attached pic ... for eg. open My Computer ... icon is of course as shown - the My Computer default Vista icon ... after you browse? *swoosh* kind of black magic ... it changes to that icon with the green arrow ... browsing back to My Computer it remains like that ... with the green arrow!!!

This happens to any and all folders ! ... When you load it ... it comes up with the default folder ... after exporing through folder it changes ... and remains like that.

For info : have tried a fresh installation of Vista to make sure that no bug got in. So must be some DAMN Vista settings

Thanks mates ... hope you enjoy this puzzle !

 

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

 

Feature suggestion: Add Windows 7 Taskbar icon GPU freq./temperature/RAM used meter

Please add an option (which will also require an Options/Settings screen however, or else the main menu will be too cluttered) to have the GPU freq., temperature, videoRAM used and/or maybe GPU load shown in the program taskbar icon on Windows 7.
It could have two options - cycle between modes (for example about each 10 seconds), or always show the same value - for example, GPU temp or load/etc.
See how Core Temp does this for an example. (WinZIP also shows such a meter when decompressing archives.)

What do you think, could this be useful?
