font size changes after windows 10 update

After today's windows 10 updating, both fonts and icons reverted back to a small size...this has happened before. I know I can change them to a larger size, but fear they will not stay - tired of changing them back all the time. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

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.

 

How can I set the default size for icons on the Start screen to small?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

I suggest you to follow the steps to change the size of the icons.

1. Right click on "Desktop".

2. Select "View".

3. Customize accordingly.

Also you can Press and hold CTRL key and scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the size of the desktop icons.

Also to change the size of the texts and text size of the desktop icons and see if it helps:

• 
  Type Make Text and other items larger or smaller in the Search Bar.
  
• 
  Select Make Text and other items larger or smaller.
  
• 
  Under Change size of items select Set a Custom scaling level
  option and try to change the size of the text.
  
• 
  You can also change the size of text for specific item in
  change text size only option.
  
• 
  After selecting the Size press Apply
  which will ask you to log off and log in again for the changes to take effect.
  

Hope this helps.
