Windows 10: System Tray Icons Showing Small Even When Taskbar Set To Large

In Windows 10, I have my taskbar set to large. My taskbar shortcuts show up correctly, but my system tray icons show up small.





I have already tried rebooting, moving my taskbar to the left side and back to the bottom and rebuilding my icon cache. None have worked. The only temporary fix I have found is to change my scale to 125% and back to 100%. This works only until I leave the profile (ie. sign out, hibernate, restart or shutdown). The only problem with this method, is that it is still loading the smaller icons only larger. Which makes them look horrible.

If anyone has some ideas, I'm open to trying them.

Thanks in advance!

System Tray Icons Showing Small Even When Taskbar Set To Large

Does anyone know how to rectify this and make them large? They used to be in me old profile.

Thanks

 

Taskbar changes height when toolbars have icons set to "Large"

There has been an issue with the Windows taskbar which drives me crazy. It has been a problem since Windows XP and the "skinning" of the underlying user interface controls. It still persists in Windows 10.

When using a Toolbar on the Taskbar and the icon size is set to "small", the clickable targets are smaller than the vertical height of the taskbar. No problem, right? Either make the taskbar icon set to "small" as well and the clickable target area matches.

But what if I like the large buttons to click on? Setting the Toolbar (not taskbar!) icons to Large causes the taskbar vertical height to increase. This is fine for the Toolbar, but the application icons in the Taskbar now have an unclickable space beneath
them. See image below (not my image... found online when trying to find a solution to this.)





This doesn't happen in Windows 7 when using the "Windows Classic" scheme... so the problem must derive from the Aero skinning of the taskbar.

To recreate:

• Right click on the taskbar and Unlock it.
• Ensure taskbar is set to "large icons" mode from Taskbar properties dialog box.
• Right click an empty area of the taskbar and create a new Toolbar.
• Right click on the label of the toolbar and choose View > Large Icons

This wouldn't necessarily be an issue if the clickable region of the Application Icons was the full vertical height of the visible taskbar. It also wouldn't be an issue if the Toolbar "Large Icons" setting didn't have icons bigger than the Application Icons.

If there is a registry hack or other solution PLEASE let me know! I have had this problem with Toolbars since Windows XP, and the Toolbars are essential to my workflow.

Thanks!
