    Small icons setting won't change

    I suggest that you change or uncheck Use small taskbar buttons by following the steps below:

    • Right-click the Taskbar.
    • Select Properties.
    • In the Taskbar tab make sure that Use small taskbar is
      uncheck
      .

    • Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

    • Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
    • Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
    • Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.

    Medium And Small Icons Together

    Hi:


    For some reason Windows 10 likes to display both “medium and small” icons together in the same folders. I have them set for medium but when I open a folder most of the icons are medium but one, two or three are small.

    Most of the time when I back out of the folder, then go in again they all set to medium but sometimes even that doesn’t work. Anybody have any recommendations on how I can fix this?

    This does not happen in folders created by Windows. It seems to be isolated to only folders I create

    See images below
