Windows 10 Desktop icons elongated and too big

[Soupertrooper64]

I have no clue what i did but now all my desktop icons are all huge and I have tried switching my resolution from 3840 x 2160 (native resolution) to 1920x1080 and back because it was suggested, I have tried messing with (ctrl + scroll wheel) to try and change the size, and I have also messed with the (small medium and large) settings for the desktop icons. Im not sure what else to do but in the picture I have attached my desktop and you can see all the icons super spaced out and weird looking.

To resolve the issue with your oversized desktop icons, you can try the following steps: 1. Adjust Icon Size: - Right-click on an empty area of your desktop. - Hover over "View" and then select the desired icon size. You can choose from Small icons, Medium icons, or Large icons. 2. Align to Grid: - Right-click on the desktop and select "View." - Turn off "Align icons to grid" and then enable it again. This option ensures that icons are correctly placed on the desktop grid. 3. Adjust Screen Resolution: - Go to your desktop and right-click. - Select "Display Settings." - Adjust the resolution to the recommended setting for your monitor. 4. Update Graphics Drivers: - Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can do this by visiting the manufacturer's website or using Windows Update. 5. Restart Explorer: - If the issues persist, you can restart File Explorer: - Press "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" to open Task Manager. - Under the "Processes" tab, find Windows Explorer. - Right-click it and select "Restart." 6. Check Scaling Options: - Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Display." - Look for the "Scale and layout" section and set it to 100%. Try these steps to see if they help in returning your desktop icons to their normal size and alignment.
