Windows 10: Desktop Icon doesn't show as large

I have a 64 and 96 px sized icon file (.ico) that refuses to show as a large icon on the desktop - they show up as medium icons in Large icon view. Any ideas why this is happening?

:)

 

Desktop icons started jumping with the Creators Update

Hi,

It is possible that your icons are set by large that is why you are seeing empty rows between folders. You can change the view or size of your icons. In that way, you would no longer see large gaps or spaces between icons. To perform the task, kind refer to
the article below:

Show, hide, or resize desktop icons

For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.

 

Can't Get Back To Regular Desktop on Windows 10?

This doesn't help me just tells me what window's 10 senses. How do you choose to use tablet mode? or how do you get your desktop icons back that you had before. Everything just suddenly disappeared. I do see a start button in the lower left but it is not
where I was before. It show very large icons (apps) but does not allow you to go back to the desktop as before. Before I had many icons on my desktop where I just clicked on the icons that took me where I wanted to go and now there is nothing it's just black.
They are totally gone. Thanks for your response.

 

There are supposed to be more icon sizes in a standard .ICO than the one you have. A lot of ico files built for older programs do not carry all the sizes you need to cover the ranges of icon sizes used in later windows versions..

Not sure of precise number of sizes needed for Windows 10 display modes but I assume that 128 and 256 Pixels are included

You can quite easily build your own ... Online ICO converter is one simple free option but many more are available both online and local options

 

Ahh! I made 128 and 256 - that did the trick. I thought 96 was enough! I use ArticonsPro. Definite ongoing senility ...

Thanks!

 

I am expecting them to up the requirements before too long with the uptake of 4K monitors, expect 512 Px or even 1024 to be included to cope

 

I'm actually running 3840x2160 (just migrated from 1920x1200)- hence the advanced senility for not going over 96!
