Small icons setting won't change

I suggest that you change or uncheck Use small taskbar buttons by following the steps below:

• Right-click the Taskbar.
• Select Properties.
• In the Taskbar tab make sure that Use small taskbar is
  uncheck.
  
  
  
  
• Click Apply and OK.

If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

• Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
• Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
• Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

post no 998 about the taskbar button icons being too small

Whilst oscer1 should have referred to right-click on the Taskbar then selecting Taskbar settings, the suggestion was essentially correct [and matches what syngnus21 wrote]. Setting & unsetting the Use small taskbar buttons control drastically alters the size of the icons in the Taskbar.

[Both these diagrams are 978x920 pixels and were taken one straight after the other on the same display with only that setting changing between them.]
Use small Taskbar buttons - On




Use small Taskbar buttons - Off




If your Taskbar is not responding this way then I can only speculate that your display driver includes a control panel utility that is separately controlling Windows elements such as the taskbar icons.

The Use small taskbar buttons control has no effect on the size of icons in any Taskbar Toolbars which is what I think you were referring to when you mentioned Quick launch.

W10 taskbar icons too small

I would agree that the Windows 10 taskbar buttons/icons are too small, much smaller than Win 7 or 8. The response below suggests going into the taskbar Properties and unchecking 'use small taskbar buttons', but I have had this unchecked the whole time,
and the taskbar buttons are still too small, annoyingly so.
