Hi Kathryn,

Follow the below to increase the size of icons in Task bar and check if it helps.

• Right click on Taskbar in the bottom of the
  Desktop window.
• Click on Properties/ Settings, uncheck the option
  Use small taskbar buttons.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post for further assistance on accessing the taskbar icons for further assistance.

Thank you.

 

post no 998 about the taskbar button icons being too small

Whilst oscer1 should have referred to right-click on the Taskbar then selecting Taskbar settings, the suggestion was essentially correct [and matches what syngnus21 wrote]. Setting & unsetting the Use small taskbar buttons control drastically alters the size of the icons in the Taskbar.

[Both these diagrams are 978x920 pixels and were taken one straight after the other on the same display with only that setting changing between them.]
Use small Taskbar buttons - On




Use small Taskbar buttons - Off




If your Taskbar is not responding this way then I can only speculate that your display driver includes a control panel utility that is separately controlling Windows elements such as the taskbar icons.

The Use small taskbar buttons control has no effect on the size of icons in any Taskbar Toolbars which is what I think you were referring to when you mentioned Quick launch.

Task bar change size after restart.

Hi, W,

Right click on Taskbar > Select Settings

Scroll down to Use small Task Bar Buttons > Turn it to Off

See if that works for you.
