Windows 10: check mark next to locked taskbar feature?

I just noticed that locked has a checkmark next to it for taskbar.I didn't put it there. Is it supposed to be checked? I don't believe it should be locked. Is that correct?What does it being locked mean? And should it be? Pros and cons?Thanks

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.

Windows 10 taskbar

Hi,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to resize the taskbar and check if it helps.

1. Right-click an empty area on the taskbar. If Lock the taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked. Unlock it by clicking Lock the taskbar, which removes the check mark.

2. Point to the edge of the taskbar until the pointer changes into a double-headed arrow‍‍ Picture of an arrow that indicates the taskbar is ready to be resized, and then drag the border to make the taskbar the size you want.

If you want to increase the size of the taskbar icons then you need to increase the screen resolution and check fi it helps.
