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?

    I've had the same issue ever since I started using Windows 11. Yes, the extra large icons are a bit bigger, but not nearly as large as on Windows 10. Seeing the number of complaints online regarding this very issue, Microsoft apparently doesn't really care about fixing it. It's as bad as the bug that opened folders at the bottom of the screen instead of scrolling them to the top so you could see the contents. They just can't seem to get Windows Explorer right.

    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.
