    Increase taskbar icons size without affecting programs


    I've just migrated to W10 after over a decade of W7, and I really can't adapt to everything being so small... If I change the scale ratio in the Display Settings, then everything (including programs) gets scaled up, which I don't want. I just want to scale up taskbar icons in a way that keeps programs unaffected.

    Icon sizes in W7 and W10 for comparison:

    I tryed Option 5 here, but it does nothing (programs still open at 125% scaling). Bullet point #2 of the guide has wrong path btw.

    The more I browse through the forum posts searching for a solution, the more I find people who think like me (and me).
