Many Windows 11 users have reported an issue where their desktop icons appear oversized after a restart. This problem can be frustrating, especially if it disrupts your workflow.

Fortunately, there are several methods you can try to fix this issue. First, you can adjust the icon size directly by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting 'View', and then choosing 'Small icons' or 'Medium icons'.

If that doesn't work, you might want to check your display settings. Right-click on the desktop, select 'Display settings', and ensure that the scaling is set to 100% for optimal icon size.

Another solution involves updating your graphics drivers, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues. Make sure to check for updates through the Device Manager.

Lastly, if the problem persists, consider resetting your PC's display settings to default. This can often resolve any lingering issues with icon sizes.
