    Extend taskbar labels option unavailable


    Hi, I've just upgraded to Windows 11 and was trying to customize my taskbar. When I went to enable labels however I noticed that the option wasn't there altogether, which is weird considering there are many screenshots where the feature is enabled and visible in the settings app. I tried using ViveToolGUI to enable it manually but that also didn't work. What else could I do?

    :)
