Multi row taskbar settings are lost on reboot (explorer restart.)

Hi Matt,

The settings that you’ve made with the taskbar may haven’t retained due to software conflicts or an application is possibly causing the issue when you’ve set the multi-row in the taskbar. To learn more about your concern, we’d like to ask the questions
below:

• Which Windows version and build is installed on your computer? To get this information, type
  winver in the search box.
• Are you using any third-party applications that are pinned on your taskbar?

In the meantime, try to lock the taskbar after making the changes. Right-click the taskbar and select
Lock all taskbar. Then, restart your computer and check if you'll see still see the multi-row. Please refer to the screenshot below:






We can also isolate this behavior by performing a clean boot. This will help us identify if there are applications that may cause the issue to change it from the default settings. Click
here for the steps. Once you’re in the clean boot state, try
to personalize the taskbar and restart your PC. Then, verify if the it will have the same result.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

 

Multi row taskbar settings are lost on reboot (explorer restart.)

For years i have configured my Windows taskbar with two rows - instead of the default single row.

With multiple toolbars active this works better for me split over two distinct rows.

This has been possible since around windows 7 i think, but it has always had a really annoying bug - in that on restart of the machine - the two row layout is reset to a single row

Double row





After restart it returns to a Single Row





I need to stress - this is not a new problem with any particular machine - but a consistent "shortcoming" in the retention of the settings in windows.

Or am i missing some setting that "retains" the taskbar settings.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

 

How to customize the taskbar so that all the icons come in a single row?

Original title:- Win 10 taskbar

My taskbar in windows 10 has moved one icon into a second row, how can i move it to make this a single row again???

I have tried rt. click and it wont move. The taskbar is wide enough now that it covers things im working on.
