    Why are explorer extra large icons too small?


    This has happened to me in Windows 10 and now 11. When i select "Extra Large" Icons in windows explorer, the actual thumbnails shrink while the blank space around them grows. How do i fix this, i do a lot of photo editing and this is a massive strain on my eyes. Why can't you get this to work properly and what do i have to do to fix this really stupid issue?

    :)

  2. File Explorer not showing Extra large icons

    Hi,

    The icons might be set to appear in medium or small icons. For you to get extra large icons, follow these steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Right-click in an empty space and navigate to View > Extra large icons.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

  4. Why are explorer extra large icons too small?

    Windows Explorer crash when select "Extra Large Icons" and "Large Icons"

    Hello, thank you for reply.

    Hmm.. i try all of these steps but the problem still occured. I through that this problem only happened everytime it happens to be icon option. Windows Explorer keeps crashing everytime selecting "Extra Large Icons" and "Large Icons" in Views Layout option. But there're no such problem on select other Layout option. Is there a solution about this?
