Windows 10: Is there a way to stop Windows from changing the height of my TaskBar

Thank you Brink! I just ran the app and we'll see if that stops my Taskbar from changing size.

 

You can also try my suggestion if @Brink suggestion wont work.

1. Open the Registry Editor by pressing Windows + R keys, type Regedit.exe into opened Run box and click OK button.

2. Navigate to below registry key.

Code: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer[/quote] 3. Create a DWORD Value and name the value as TaskbarLockAll

4. Double-click TaskbarLockAll and replace its value data with 1.

You may need to restart your computer to changes take affect.

 

OK, will do that next (if Brink's solution doesn't work). However, so far, it is working. We'll see tomorrow.

 

Just to make clear and notify, setting the TaskbarLockAll DWORD to 1 will also disable (gray out) just about all taskbar settings on the Settings > Personalization > Taskbar page.

I wouldn't recommend setting this unless you don't mind not being able to easily change any taskbar setting.

Oops! Thanks for the warning.

 

Hello Brink! It looks as if your suggestion on Post #14 (How to stop the Taskbar from being changed) is working. Some more time will tell - and I haven't rebooted since I ran the app - so I'll keep you and the other folks who contributed, informed when I'm sure it works under all circumstances. Thank again for the hrlp!

 

Great news Nisko. *Party

 

Thanks to you! Still working properly. I have put up with this error for many years and was told it was an OS error and probably unfixable.

 

You're most welcome Nisko. I'm glad it was able to help. *Party
