    Windows 11 didn't fix the tiny "extra large" icons on a 4k screen?


    Hey just wondering if I'm missing anything or if Microsoft really hasn't fixed the bug in Windows Explorer where you can't make your photo icons/thumbnails any larger on a 4k laptop screen? This was a known issue in Windows 10 and I had high hopes it would be fixed in 11. But so far, when I open a big batch of photos and try to make the thumbnails large enough to preview quickly, it doesn't work. Clicking "extra large" just increases the spacing between the tiny thumbnails, which is less than helpful!Dell XPS, I7, Windows 11, 4k screen, Iris Xe graphics.

    :)

  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.

    Windows 11 didn't fix the tiny "extra large" icons on a 4k screen?

    Extra large icons too small

    I'm running Windows 10 64 bit Home edition on a laptop.
    When I select "extra large icons" in WindowsExplorer the spacing increases but the thumbnail size stays the same as for"large icons".
    I have tried all the suggested fixes from the net, but nonehas worked.
    These included the obvious mouse wheel fix - this justreduces size,
    registry tweak - did nothing,
    A fix involving the group policy editor (once I'd made itwork) to "turn off task bar icons"
    but that option wasn't there.
    One suggestion to use the Faststone Image Viewer is anoption but it's an unwieldy overkill.
    Can any one please help
