.exe keeps getting bigger after each compile

In my project, every time I make a very small adjustment the resulting .exe file gets larger.  For example, my last executable was 24.6 MB   Now the new one is over 25MB after hardly any changed to the code.

What exactly causes this?

If you recompile without any changes does the size change?

BTW when I compile the project that I used for the last question of yours that I worked on it's only 64KB.

I just tested it out and the size stays the same.   Maybe it is naturally getting bigger and its just surprising me...

25MB surprises me. Have you added other things besides the blocked sites list and the allowed maintenance?

Oh no.  This is a different project I'm talking about.
