  1. Is there any way to change explorer icon size to 32x32 like in Windows XP?


    I like to have the 32x32 icon sizes to have a classic "Icons" view like in Windows XP and lower versions of Windows. But any attempt to resize the file explorer icons causes a loss of image quality (noticeable in pixel-style icons). Only the "content" view and the "medium icons" view in the Desktop allow for 32x32 icon size without loss of quality, but is there any way to make the file names stay below the icons in the explorer like in XP? I have seen this thing since Windows Vista.

    How to change taskbar small icon size

    Dear Shawn: The large icons have been downsized
    from 32x32 to 24x24 pixels in Windows 10. That is 8 pixels smaller, and we can tell the difference after 12 years looking at 32x32 icons in front of our faces for countless hours.

    First, the icons now look blurred (they are the 32x32 icon downscaled)

    Second, taskbar becomes too small - even on standard resolutions such as 1280x1024. We need to use the Magnifier app to find our icons on very large resolutions now.

    For charity, please restore the 32x32 icons for those who are using a desktop - you can freely adopt any absurd size you want for tablets, 8x8 or 17x17 pixels if you want, but plese, leave desktop users with the usual icons size.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.



    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

    I suggest you to check the resolution of your screen and make changes according to your requirements. To change screen resolution follow the steps below

    • Go to your desktop, right-click your mouse and go to Display Settings.
    • A panel will open. Here you can adjust the size of text, apps, and other items and also change the orientation. To change the resolution settings, scroll down this window and click on Advanced Display Settings
    1366 X 768 is the recommended screen resolution

    • You can change it according to your requirements.
    NOTE: Lower is the resolution, larger is the content displayed on your screen. From the available options in the drop-down menu, select the one you want and click Apply

    • If it is not the optimal setting for your system, you will see an Optimal Resolution Notification
    You may ignore the notification and confirm your Screen Resolution changes by clicking on
    keep the Changes, or you may select another screen resolution. You will get just 15 seconds to confirm the changes or else it will revert to the default display settings.

    Also check if the drivers are up to date.



    Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran
