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?

    Thanks for checking that out and your response! I think the more folks that speak up the better the chance MS will get the message.

    Since upgrade to from Win10 to Win11, the some of the aspect ratios of thumbnail images in my photographs folders are incorrect, as if file explorer doesn't appear to be treating the images as having square pixels. Is there a soloution to this problem?

    It looks like pictures taken in portrait mode are unfortunately squashed to fit into the 'landscape' format of the Windows11 file explorer. I'm fairly sure this did not happen in windows 10.

    This sounds like a different issue from the one this thread is about. Maybe related in some way, but you might want to post this as it's own issue in a new thread.

    I have had this problem on Windows 10 and 11. Microsoft, this is unacceptable! My display resolution is 3840x2160.
