Windows 10: Taskbar icons size

So for like a month or so after one update these taskbar icons are so big i cant even look at them. Tb stopped working and yes ive tried taskbarsi set it to 0 still they are big im running on 1280x1024 bc its just better for me while playing games and i got used to it. Icons seem good on 1920 x 1024 but on my res they seem to adapt the resolution is there a way to disable it or a tool to resize them? Ive tried searching for it but everything was about taskbarsi so idk. Im thinking about reverting the update because these icons just hurt my eyes

Taskbar icon size

When I first upgraded to Windows 11, the one problem I had was the size of the icons in the Taskbar. Being visually changed, they were just too small.



After some digging, I found a YouTube video by Kevin Stratvert ( ), that, in five steps, resolved the issue. This made the icons about the same size as small desktop icons (Ctrl+Shift+4). This was perfect and I have been quited satisfied with Windows 11 ever since.



Resize icons on taskbar:

1. Location in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
   
2. Click New and then DWORD (32-bit) Value
   
3. Set the name of the DWORD Value as “TaskbarSi” and hit the Enter key to save changes.
   
4. Large taskbar – TaskbarSi value 2
   
5. Restart Windows Explorer
   

Since applying 2023-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022913), the icons have reverted tom the original small size, so again, they are difficult to interpret quickly. I have removed the TaskbarSI from the registry and restarted Windows Explorer, the went through the steps above (adding TaskbarSi back), to no avail.



Has anyone else encountered this and are there any known tweaks that will restore the icons to their larger size.

 

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.

 

Why do the icon sizes not match on the Taskbar?

Hi -

I'm trying to add some icons to the taskbar, but as you can see with the purple arrow, the sizes are different.
I tried making the icon size larger, but to no effect.





I want them all to be the same size.

Suggestions welcome!

TIA *cry
