Too small program icon size in taskbar in 250% scale

Post by *wiki »

Hello,
pls can you fix tiny icon size showing for Total Commander 9.51(64bit) pinned to the taskbar in Windows 10?
I'm using 250% scaled resolution. It is this small only if total commander is closed. IMHO it is because in icon set is missing some size windows is looking for.

Thank you.

This is unfortunately a Windows 10 bug. The largest included icon is 48x48 pixels. Windows should upscale icons automatically when no larger icons are included.

According to that guide, "These high-resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons.". They don't seem to be required, so Windows should upscale what it finds as it does on all lower resolution screens.
