    How do I change the taskbar settings without going into the Settings app??


    I was about to change some taskbar settings on my Windows 10 computer, but every time I select Taskbar settings or select Taskbar in the personalisation section, it crashes. I tried resetting the Settings app, nothing worked. So how do I change taskbar settings without going into the Settings app?

    :)

    Taskbar - to restore to default settings

    Hi,

    To change the settings for the icons on your taskbar, follow the steps below:

    • Right click on your taskbar.
    • Select on Settings.
    • On the pop-up window, look for the Combine taskbar buttons option.
    • Click on the drop-down arrow and choose Always, hide labels.
    • Once done, you can now close the settings window.

    These steps should help you with your issue.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Pinning "Settings" to the Taskbar

    I've tried both suggestions. But thanks to your(?) earlier post, I do have an icon pinned to the taskbar for settings.

    Both were my posts How do I change the taskbar settings without going into the Settings app?? :) In fact, at first I forgot to post the usual steps to pin Settings to taskbar, and rather complicated (which I thought) by suggesting you create a shortcut. Hence the 2nd post. Anyway, glad the shortcut method helped.

    Microsoft Moves Taskbar Options To Settings In Redstone


    Microsoft Moves Taskbar Options To Settings In Redstone
    By Barry Richards -
    February 25, 2016

    More specifically, Windows 10 build 14271, which is the latest version of the Redstone preview that we have to.
    It moves further towards the ultimate retirement of the Control Panel.

    The desktop one, that is.

    Classic as it is, the Settings app is where the action is at in Windows 10 — as more and more options are being moved to this universal application. Redstone has just taken it one step further, and if this trend holds, we could see a range of new options part of Settings by the time this update for the OS arrives.

    As noted, the latest version that Microsoft released moves the taskbar configuration options from the desktop Control Panel to Settings.

    Take another big step towards this change.
