This situation can be solved with a few simple settings in the computer operating system. Right click on the desktop. A context menu will appear, in which select the "Properties" item. This menu is responsible for all the graphical parameters of the operating system. Click on the "Options" tab. Here you need to increase the screen resolution in order to make the icons on the personal computer smaller.

Move the cursor left or right to change the screen resolution on your computer. In this case, the system will automatically accept the values at which the cursor will stop. If you are satisfied with these or those system parameters, click on the "Apply" button. Now restart your computer so that the system will save all the settings. It is also worth noting that there are situations when the system, after rebooting, returns the position of the icons to a large size.
Step 3
You need to check your graphics card drivers. To do this, go to "My Computer". Right-click and select Properties. Next, find the "Device Manager" tab there.

You can go to this menu at any time and change the size of the icons at your discretion. The best option is 1280 * 1024 pixels.
