Windows icons change size

While I have figured out a work around it is kind of a pain. If I rename or make a copy of the icon file and assign the renamed or copied version to the shortcut it returns to the full size, but doing this after random updates or game crashes is a pain. Here is a picture of what I mean. The first row is a "broken" shortcut and the icon assigned to it.

Why do the icon sizes load inconsistently after updates, crashes, or cache rebuilds and is there an actual fix? Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback.

Windows might ask you to log out and log back in for a more consistent experience. This will not only make the icons in the taskbar a bit larger, but it will also make text bigger in apps like Microsoft Edge and Calendar, as well as in Windows 10 notification windows. If you'd like larger or smaller icons or thumbnails in particular folders, you can change those on the fly in File Explorer.

Just head to your folder location and use your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in or out, effectively switching the view between Windows 10's large icons, medium icons, small icons, list, details, tiles, and content views. Although File Explorer will remember your last setting when you open this folder again, this is a folder-specific setting, so you'll have to adjust each folder you'd want different icon and text sizes for.
