Windows 10: Big gap on taskbar icons

Hello.

After installing a software (Splashtop), the gap between the icons on taskbar became big. If I uninstall the software, everything goes back to normal. Is there a way to customize the gap/space between the icons?

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.





At the top is when the software is installed, at the bottom is when I uninstall it. I want to note that when I installed it for the first time, the "Show touch keyboard button" got automatically enabled.

Desktop Icons have big gap to taskbar

Hi there,

Let's check if it's a driver issue. Could you boot into
safe mode and check if you will see the same thing?

If no,
uninstall the display adapter manually and check if the issue persists.

For some reason this software makes W10 think you have a touch screen enabled. Open Device Manager and look under the entries in Human Interface Devices. If there is one for Touch Screen disable it and see if this makes a difference.

 

Yeap, that was it. Thanks.

At "Human Interface Devices", there is Splashtop Virtual Hid. And if it is enabled, then it creates HID-compliant touch screen. I disabled the touch screen and it went back to normal. It also goes back to normal if I disable Splashtop Virtual Hid since it is then one that creates the touch screen.

 

That's great to know and thanks for reporting back for others *Smile
