Is there a way to make it show the correct size? Windows 7: Windows 8.1:

I hate the forced UWP/Metro/Tablet UI in Windows 10/11, I wish they kept at least the Control Panel.

DWM probably? Try disabling it temporarily, then see if the icon is like in Windows 7.

Working on de-metroifing the Windows UI (and maybe making it 100% usable without DWM)
