Windows 10 Taskbar icons are wider and file explorer spacing is larger

[PleaseHelp0]

Recently icons on my taskbar were wider and rectangular, instead of the square shape they usually are.

This is what it was before:

Also, file explorer has wider spacing between items and the address bar and search are larger.

I am using a HP Pavilion x360 Convertible. Can anyone help me?

You probably have Tablet mode turned on. Click the message box icon bottom right and click Tablet mode if it's enabled

I don't have tablet mode on?

No it appears to be off. You can try toggling it and see if it resets the spacing.

I also tried disabling the touch screen driver and it just made the icons on the bottom right tighter

I just figured out the problem! In Settings > System > Tablet > Additional Tablet Settings, there's options for when not using tablet mode, and turning these off solved it. I don't remember touching any tablet settings, but they were turned on at some point.
