This has to be done through a registry hack, so be sure that you want to continue with this trick. That is to say, proceed only if you are good at following instructions and also, back up the registry first in an external drive.
Stated below is the step by step process.
Step 1: Launch the Run dialog box by using Windows + R and execute the command regedit to pull up Registry Editor.

Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> Taskband.
Step 3: On the right side of the editor, right-click on an empty space and create a New DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it MinThumbSizePx.
Create-New-DWORD
Step 4: Now, right click on this DWORD and choose to Modify its value.

Step 5: Select the Decimal  radio button key in a value of your choice to determine the size of thumbnails. I have it set to 400.
