Windows 10: Icon Size

What do I keep doing to decrease the size of the icons on my desktop? It's not killing me, but it's INCREDIBLY annoying to have to resize the icons every three minutes. This never happened in Windows 8.1 by the way.

Windows Icon Issues

i set my icon on small size and shutdown the pc.

when i start my pc again then icon is so big and set point of icon is remain where i am left on small size and then again i restart my pc the icon is comes on actual size of small size.

The set point is still small size.

But icon size is change.

 

Icon size

Hi,

I've been having a problem with my icon size : it won't stay the same size.

Everytime I turn on my laptop, I change the icon size on desktop with the touchpad, and the icon size in my folders to "large", but whenever i reboot my laptop the icon size returns to "medium" on desktop and "small with details" in my folders.

Anyone knows how to fix that ?

 

Holding down the Ctrl key and rolling the mouse wheel can decrease or increase size.

 

Huh. I must be pressing the damn Ctrl key by mistake? That's a terrible function, but I expect this from Windows by now. Any way to disable the 500 different usless "helpful" functions that Windows had added to "help us" in 10?

 

That "useless" feature has been in windows like forever !! I use it all the time, it works same in all programs that support it.

 

. . . then I must be doing something else. This problem occured ONLY when I upgraded to Windows 10. And I call it a "useless" fuction only because it occurs on it's own every few minutes on my computer even though I do not want it to.

 

this not normal ,so you must have other issues like correct drivers for win10 ,check device manager and see if it shows any device driver issues ,check video display driver for sure.
and for a snide remark , Switching to Linux will fix it ,lol

Right Click anywhere on your desktop
A menu will come up
Hover over View and what ever size icon will show
Small
Medium
Large
Click on whatever one you want
That is it
The icons will resize to whatever size you want

 

Right, thank you! I can do that, but the problem is that it automatically changes against my will with a movement of the mouse. Why did Windows give 5,000 different jobs to the mouse when I just want to move and click stuff???

 

They didn't, it's still there just to click with but it's not a live thing, you are the one that commands it what to do. Like we used to say in the navy: "When you are in command, command, don't go around asking what to do".

 

Huh. That still won't explain why this only occurs in 10. And like I said, I just move the mouse and the icons change size. Is there a way to get to "mouse commands" or something to change what the mouse can do? (Thanks for fighting for us by the way! Merry Christmas!)

 

Just thought of something, go to control Panel > Mouse and check if maybe "ClickLock" is enabled.

 

Would that stop the mouse from doing extra tasks? I'll try that when I go on later today. Either way, thank you very much! I should have checked "Mouse" all along. Someone had to point out the obvious, and I thank you!
