Windows 10: Enlarge icons in taskbar
Unfortunately, there is no option in Windows 10 that can be used to adjust the taskbar icons directly. Therefore you have to use the free software "7+ Taskbar Tweaker".
- First download the freeware and install the program on your PC.
- After starting the tool, a window opens and the symbol for "7+ Taskbar Tweaker" appears in the task bar at the bottom right. Right-click on this symbol.
- In the context menu, select the "Advanced options" option.
- In the new window, scroll to the entry "w10_large_icons" and double-click on the value in the right column. Enter "1" as the value.
- The icons on your taskbar will automatically grow slightly, just like in Windows 7 and 8. You can now close the program window.
