make Windows 11 photo thumbnails larger than extra large in file explorer

Now using Windows 11. When I open File Explorer to view photo thumbnails and set the view to Extra Large, it is not any larger than when I set the view to Large. The only difference between Large and Extra Large is that the spacing between thumbnails gets larger -- not the photo itself.

My laptop is still on Windows 10, and Extra Large view there is much larger than the Large view setting.

Can you help?

    -Hi, my name is Claudeir, I'm happy to help you!

    I did some tests here with W11 and in my tests, the view from Large to Extra Large there is a lot of difference, what may be happening is a small bug, I suggest that first change to View>List> then change to View>Extra Large Icons .

    If necessary, Ctrl+Shift+Esc> select the process Windows Explorer> Restart.

    If still necessary, check the system files:

    -Right click on start, run PowerShell(admin) or Command Prompt(admin)

    Copy and paste the following command:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    and press Enter.(Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete).

    After you see a message saying "The operation completed successfully", copy and paste this command:

    sfc /scannow

    and press Enter.

    Wait for a message that says "Verification 100% complete".

    Sorry to report that my Extra Large view of photos in File Explorer is still the same as the Large view. Only difference is that the white space between the photos in Extra Large is, in fact, larger than the white space between the photos in the Large view. No difference in the actual photo itself.

    Can you send some screenshots in the large and extra-large view mode?

    It would help us understand better.

    Regards,

    Here are the two screen shots from photos viewed in File Explorer with the view set to Large Icons and the view set to Extra Large icons.

    Sorry, but you said that the display set to Large or Extra Large made no difference as they were the same size, but that's not what I see in the image, there doesn't seem to be a problem, in Extra Large the image is much larger, the spacing increases because the photos are horizontal.

    I understand that on the W10 it may be a little different, you can use the Windows+F key shortcut to send your suggestion to the developers.

    Regards,

    Claudeir
