    Why are folder icons occasionally tiny in Windows 10 explorer "detail view"?


    Windows 10 Explorer has recently started rendering folder but not file icons as tiny in the "detail" view. Rebooting or killing/restarting explorer.exe seems to fix it, but I haven't figured out any way to stop it from happening in the first place or fixing it in a more graceful fashion.Note that zooming in and out isn't a solution--that just switches from detail view to other views. My problem is only in detail view.It's also not a problem that impacts all icons -- the icons other than folders look fine.Some screenshots below of detail view tiny folder icons vs. other views normal folder

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
