  1. Enlarged taskbar icons on the external monitor


    Ho do I fix this without a restart? Enlarged taskbar icons on the external monitor b403db26-e140-4732-8723-51c6dd14c322?upload=true.jpg

    On my second monitor, the time font is too large and the taskbar alert icons are fuzzy like they're not scaling correctly:

    Problem occurs when I dock my laptop. Have had the same issue with a Surface laptop dock and my new Dell with a Dell dock - so it's not hardware related.


    Undocking and redocking doesn't solve the issue. The only fix is restarting.

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    Taskbar on External Monitor

    I have a question on how to add the small icons onto the taskbar that's on an external monitor from my laptop, all I can see is just the clock and time, how do I get my battery level/speakers/internet etc. to show on the right end of the second taskbar?
    I know it'll show if I duplicate monitors, but how to do it on extend monitors? does Windows have an option?
