Let's give it a try!

First, Right-Click on a blank area of your Taskbar and select “Properties”.

A window will pop up.

Select the Start Menu Tab and click the “Customize” button.

Once in this window, scroll the list all the way down to the bottom.

You should see the Customize Start Menu Windows Tab with different Options.

Just un-check the check-box that says “Use Large Icons” and hit OK, then Apply then OK again.
