[SOLVED]Gnome display icons in a wrong small size after rebooting

Before rebooting I believe I did nothing that may cause this. But after rebooting I found the icons in Applicantions view and dash become smaller, also the power/setting/lock button in the right-top menu are smaller, however they are normally in GDM, I tried to created a new user and logging in, and it has a normal size, in other words, only my account are abnormal... Plus if this can help, I'm using a 4k screen and org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor was set to 2.

Nautils's icons are normal.

Picture is here, thanks in advance.

EDIT: After removing ~/.config/dconf/user, it behaves normally but gnome become a fresh one, and I haven't change it... also no word useful in log.

Look at your logs: xorg and pacman's.

Gnome is using Wayland… And I've seen journalctl, but found nothing. Thanks.

Sorry but I don't think this is a newbie's problem, I've checked logs and found nothing wrong, I've use arch for a long time, just I haven't register before, I don't think this problem can be solved in a Newbie's place...

And it can't be solved with no useful information. You tell us nothing about your setup (Graphics card, driver, screen resolution. icon theme, what you updated, etc). Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and then post something that demonstrates that you are not a complete noob.

I really want to upload more information but in fact I cannot find more useful information, I can tell that I am using bumblebee with Intel P530 and Nvidia M1000M using nvidia driver, and have a 3840x2160 screen, also the default icon theme, and before it behave abnormal, I've updated nothing. But seems these have no relationship with the problem… I can also upload my logs but they are the same with normal start-up. I just shutdown my computer normally, and after starting it find icon was small, then checked my history and log, find nothing, add a new user, find it's okay, and then decide to ask if there any one have the same question.

Finally I removed ~/.config/dconf/user and the size is normal, but I haven't changed dconf...and now I need to re-set all things.
