    Desktop and Taskbar how to change size of icons


    I currently have desktop icons and selected small for their size. Can I increase the size of the desktop and taskbar settings. I would like them about 25% larger.

    :)

    change size of taskbar and desktop icons


    Did you changed resolution on your monitor, or scaling?

    Icons size on taskbar can only be small or normal (larger). You can change it in Taskbar Settings (right click on empty space in Taskbar and at the bottom select Taskbar settings. Then uncheck "use small taskbar buttons"

    Cannot change desktop icon


    Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

    To change it to the icon I want, I go:
    1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
    2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
    3. Click OK
    4. Click Apply
    But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
    HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?
