Windows 10: post no 998 about the taskbar button icons being too small

Did anyone found a way to make the taskbar icons larger? I looked through 10 pages of posts on the topic, hoping that a solution was found, but found none. On my 15.6" laptop the taskbar icons are truly tiny. I am referring to both the icons in the system tray and my apps which use the Quick launch style folder containing the shortcuts, numbered in the order I want them loaded.I can upsize any icon, (the British flag icon is three times the size of the original), but it has no effect. Also, a Windows shortcut accepts only .ico files, — no .jpg .png nor .svg.and the space allotted to icons is square,

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.

 

W10 taskbar icons too small

I would agree that the Windows 10 taskbar buttons/icons are too small, much smaller than Win 7 or 8. The response below suggests going into the taskbar Properties and unchecking 'use small taskbar buttons', but I have had this unchecked the whole time,
and the taskbar buttons are still too small, annoyingly so.

 

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.
