Hi Cruz,

Unfortunately, you will not be able to resize only the Desktop items. However, you may customize the display to make the icons bigger or change the text size.

• 
  Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Click on Settings and click on System.
  
• 
  Under Display, you can customize the options according to your use.
  
  If you need to increase the Desktop icon text size, you may follow these steps:
  

• 
  Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Click on Control panel.
  
• 
  Click on Appearance and Personalization.
  
• 
  Click on Display and change the settings for the icon text size.
  
  Let us know the results. If you are still facing the issue, we’re here to help.
