  1. Small icons in taskbar grow to more than 5x normal width when app is active.


    I've noticed a HUGE change in my taskbar. When an app is opened the small icon becomes 5x wider and contains a tag telling what the app is dealing with. While usefull to some I'm sure, I don't need it and don't want it. I see nothing in settings for it. Hopefuly some one knows a regedit fix or something. I'm not gonna lose sleep, but every update forces changes that not everyone needs. I would prefer flexability that lets me keep things familiar, thank you.

    :)

  2. Taskbar height/width on the side

    The width of the Taskbar is determined by the size of the icons. Right click on the Taskbar, select Properties, Taskbar tab, check the box before
    Use small taskbar buttons and click Apply and
    OK
    .

    • Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

    • Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
    • Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
    • Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.
    Let us know how it goes.
