The Three Steps I Used
I've had this issue a few times in the past.
These are the things I usually do to fix.
- Restart the computer.
- Update graphics driver.
- Delete
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local>IconCache.db
Same problem happens to me, that's what helped me fix it:
- Run regedit
- Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows- look for IconServiceLib REG_SZ, in my case that key is not existed.
- Create/update it with
IconCodecService.dll
- Repeat same for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
That's it, large icons appears without any other actions.
Found this solution in some forum and it worked for me: 1. Open notepad (or any editor). 2. Enter the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"IconServiceLib"="IconCodecService.dll"
"DdeSendTimeout"=dword:00000000
"DesktopHeapLogging"=dword:00000001
"GDIProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
"ShutdownWarningDialogTimeout"=dword:ffffffff
"USERNestedWindowLimit"=dword:00000032
"USERPostMessageLimit"=dword:00002710
"USERProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
@="mnmsrvc"
"DeviceNotSelectedTimeout"="15"
"Spooler"="yes"
"TransmissionRetryTimeout"="90"
