  1. Icon Resizing


    How do I resize the icons on my Windows 10 desktop screen? I don't know what or how it happened but I left the room for a couple of minutes and when I returned the Icons had grown in size from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch with an arrow at the corner of each icon. No pets in the house and I am by myself.

    :)

    Windows 10 desktop Icon resizing?

    I found out how to resize desktop icons, see below ,

    To change the desktop icons take the steps below:

    · Right click on an empty area of the desktop

    · Select ‘View’



    From here we will have three options:

    · Large Icons

    · Medium Icons

    · Classic Icons



    When you select the options listed above the icons will change based on the size selected.

    Hi Bob,

    There may be several reasons why you are unable to resize or move applications after installing an update. To better assist you with your concern, we would like you to answer the questions below:

    • Does it happen only on one application?

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel

      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
    Let us know how it goes.
