Also, I would like to add that I tried running in admin mode. The specific app which I'm trying to enlarge the size is forticlient's vpn application.

I was able to work around the issue.

  1. Opened your app without admin.
  2. Selected the forticlient icon which was giving me issues.
  3. Pressed the button on the bottom of your app which says "quick build custom shortcut".
  4. Played with both the medium and small icon sizes, noticed I wasn't required to click the link to select icon.
  5. Pressed tile iconify
  6. Unpinned my current tile
  7. Pinned the shortcut to start from the "tileconify" folder Located in the programs list.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. This is a limitation due to the way the program works, a more intuitive error message has been added for this now!
