Windows 10: How to make icon of a UWP app on taskbar bigger?

I used to the Visual Studio Asset Generator to generate images for all visual assets. When I run the app, the Taskbar icon is too small and it picks the accent color I have chosen. For reference, I have uploaded the icon of Visual Studio 2017 as well. How do I make the icon of my UWP as the same size as the icon of Visual Studio 2017?

Icons of UWP/Metro apps not showing in taskbar





Icons of UWP/Metro/Modern apps (first gap in the image is Edge, second (the active app) is mail, third is Twitter) are not showing up in the taskbar, nor when they're pinned, nor when they're opened. Icons of classic desktop (Win32) apps are visible. Icons
from the right to PowerShell are pinned, from Slack to the right are just opened.

I've tried several reboots, upinning and re-pinning the apps and a script suggested here: Icons pinned to task bar are not displayed properly on Windows 10.,
but my problem isn't solved. Any ideas?

 

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

 

How to make Taskbar Icons Bigger?


One solution to this is if you use StartIsBack++ if you tick the box "Use larger taskbar icons" in appearance and you are sure you dont have the box "Use small taskbar buttons" in Taskbar and Start Menu Properties you would get bigger icons.

It all depends on your resolution. So if you go into Settings > System > Display you can use the slider under "Change the size of the text, apps, and other items:" [from 100% - 175%] then you can adjust it to where ever you feel comfortable.
