Windows 10: How do you shrink the taskbar in windows 11

Simple as the title, I prefer it not take up double the space that it previously used in windows 10 and am incredibly dissatisfied that there is no option to not have a massive taskbar.

Windows 11 taskbar icons not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your interest in Windows 11. I understand that Taskbar icons are not working after upgrading to Windows 11. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

1. What happens when you click on an icon on the Taskbar?
   
2. Do you receive any error message/code?
   
3. Does this issue occur with all the icons?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try re-registering the taskbar and see if that works. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin)
   
2. Now type in the following command and hit Enter: Get-AppXPackage -User ([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name) *ShellExperienceHost* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
   
3. Restart the PC once the command is complete.
   

If the issue persists, you can try creating a new user account and then see if you are able to access the icons on the Taskbar.



Let us know how it goes.



Regards,

Shrink window caption buttons w/o shrinking taskbar tray icons?

I found this tutorial on how to shrink the window caption buttons (minimize/maximize/close) by tweaking the registry. However, as anyone who uses it is aware, changing the caption button sizes also changes the taskbar tray icons, so by shrinking the caption buttons to a more sensible size you end up with tiny taskbar icons.

Does anyone know of a way to shrink the caption buttons without also shrinking the taskbar icons?

 

AMD to Give 20 nm Optical Shrinks to Console SoCs First

Scroll down to list of revisions. Die shrinks are not consumer relevant with consoles. They bring no performance changes because consistency is the entire point of them. Unless you're batshit crazy Nintendo that is, then you get the "new 3DS" half step BS.
