    Is it possible to split the taskbar icons into another column when the taskbar is vertical?


    It's possible to have two rows of icons when the taskbar is horizontal (by making the taskbar wider) but this somehow doesn't work when it's vertical.

    Does anyone know a way to do this?

    Multiple columns in vertical taskbar?

    Reviving this year old thread since I have the exact same question. Has anyone figured out how to have multiple columns in a vertical taskbar in Win10?

    Multiple columns in vertical taskbar?

    I'm guessing the 'Pinned' Taskbar Icons stay in a single row because of the whole thumbnail preview thing.
    Perhaps with a 3rd party utility...
    Multiple rows are easily achieved creating a new Toolbar, (right click Taskbar/Toolbars/New toolbar...)
    unlock the Taskbar and drag Toolbars to desired position by hovering of the double separator bars til you see a double headed arrow, (you can drag them over top of each other to flip their positions)...

    Multiple columns in vertical taskbar?

    Is there any chance/hack/possibility to have multiple columns when locating the taskbar on the side of the desktop?
    I mean, when vertical, no matter how thick the taskbar is made, there is always only one icons column and one needs to scroll it, when those do not fit:

    The only thing I found on the Net related to this is this topic:
    taskbar doesn't stack when vertical? - Windows 7 Help Forums
    But - first - I totally don't get this patent with a folder (?), and second - there are some years that passed, maybe, finally, there is a way to do this...? Or any taskbar tweaker, skin, whatever...?
