"windows 10" taskbar icon spacing too wide

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:

• Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
• Click File > Run New Task
• Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
  
• Type CMD
• Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannnow

If the above commands both completed and show no remaining issues, run these commands:

powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hope this helps.

It worked! thanks so much.

 

Hello Win10Newb, *Smile

Turning off selecting items with check boxes will return the icons to normal size.

*Arrow Turn On or Off Select Items using Check Boxes in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials

 

Admin, i've tried that but didnt worked.

its only like that if the view is on Tiles and Content, the others are normal.

 

It should look like this with check boxes turned off. Is this what you're seeing now?

 

yeah, its like that. so its normal? *Shock its annoying.

wish there could be some tweaks.

thanks, Admin Brink *Party

 

Yep, that's normal for "Tiles" view.

 

Odd. That's not how it looks on any of my systems (15063.540). Note that there is no icon-width 'whitespace' to the left of the disk icon and that the tick-box is superimposed top left on the icon, not separately off to the left as in the OPs screenshot. Is this a new 'feature' of build 16278 then?
