  2. How do I resize tiles on desktop?

    There's no tiles on the desktop (tiles are the squares inside the Start menu). But if you mean resize the desktop icons, you can do it several ways:

    • Right-click a blank area of the desktop, choose View, then pick a size
    • Click any single icon, then hold down the Ctrl key while you scroll your mouse wheel (if it has one)

  3. Microsoft Edge desktop icon

    i have the same Problem but sfc /scannow (in admin mode) did not solve it

    all me Desktop URLs are blank White squares

    when i Change Default browser to Chrome the chome Icon is on the URL (so this works)

    changing the Default browser back to edge again only Shows White squares

    seems i have to stay with Chrome ?
