how to change the thumbnails' (icons) default size in windows 10?

Question

In Windows 7 I used to set my preferred thumbnail size:

Then I go in Folder options and make sure that the current style would apply to all folders of the same type:

However, that no longer works. Any idea? Thanks.

Answer 1

In Window 10, go to the view option on the top -

Click on the preferred thumbnail size -

Next click on the Change folder and search options like shown on the right hand side -

On the View tab in the subsequent panel, click on Apply to folders. It will prompt you to confirm that you want the view settings of the current folder (with the applied thumbnail view change) applied to all folders. Click on yes.

Now all folders will have the same thumbnail size as the one in your current folder, which you had changed in the second step. Works fine onWindows 10.
