Advice Request How can I make icons bigger in task bar?

[Antig]

I've got the trivial problem of making the task bar icons bigger without enlarging the other display factors in an HP laptop which is used by a relative who is not an eagle. Obviously in windows 10 and lets add the guy is using a monitor as well.
Making the scaling factor bigger,i.e. from 100 to 110 or 120 does the trick,but also makes other things look larger.
Moreover, I wouldnt like to incur in the warning that 'it might be difficult to go back to previous setting' as depicted by MS.
Carrying the line of the taskbar upward wont change the icons size.
Can anyone give me an idea-if feasible- without altering resolution either?
thanks,
Antig

AFAIK, that's almost impossible (to tweak) on Windows 10, you have one built-in option only in settings, disable => "use small taskbar buttons"

The other way would be just using any 3rd-party software like below (even supported on Windows 10)

7+ Taskbar Tweaker - Ramen Software

rammichael.com

Changelog:
v5.10 (October 30, 2020)

• Added support for Windows 10 version 20H2 (October 2020 Update, build 19042).
• Fixed the incompatibility caused by update KB4580364 of Windows 10 version 2004.
• Fixed the incompatibility caused by update KB4580386 of Windows 10 version 1909.
• Improved support for UWP apps, now settings such as grouping are applied immediately, no need to restart the apps.
• Fixed: closing a UWP window could cause the app to re-open.
• Fixed: if more than one instance of the same UWP app was open, and if grouping was disabled with labels hidden, only the first instance had a visible icon.
• If dark system theme is used, don't use a custom background to keep the text readable.
• Changed default installation folder to %LocalAppData%\Programs.

EDIT: In case you like to use this software, just follow guide below:

In Windows 10, Microsoft reduced the size of application icons on the taskbar to 24 x 24. Many users want the have larger icons with size of 32 x 32.

Works fine here on Windows 10:

Thank you

silversurfer. I had not thought to use a third party program,in spite of having successfully used one for some time to render W10 like Windows7. I have downloaded the portable version and will try to tweak as soon as I can get in touch with the computer of my relative. It being from github gives me the idea it'll be ok.​

thanks again and I'll let you know about the outcome.

I installed 7+ Taskbar Tweaker in my computer,but I'm sorry to say I have found countless interesting tweaks and settings,excepting anything which is conducive to enlarging taskbar icons size. I went thru all settings many times ,perhaps I am unable to spot the right thing!
So,alas,I'm still looking for a solution.

Just in case, you haven't seen before this guide below to setup for more large icons of taskbar:

Yes,IT WAS definetely the case......as it sometimes happens to me I avoided the guide and went straight to the program.
Result: loosing time.
It is very simple ,really,and effective,I think ,as it recites, that every Windows 10 user should have it.
Sorry I forced you to a supplementary post,case solved, thanks again
