Windows 10: Registry Setting for Taskbar Height?? Windows 10.. mine keeps resetting every time i start...

Hi all,



Hopefully someone can help me out. .I am really frustrated with my taskbar right now and have no idea how to fix it. I have my taskbar settings set for the height to be 2 levels… BUT every time I start up my PC.. it is set back to 1 level and I have to redo it every time. .is there a registry setting I can go in and correct?? I am guessing something got corrupted and it keeps defaulting back to 1 level. Please help if you can.

:)

 

Windows 10 resets taskbar height to single row after restart

I set my taskbar to auto-hide and a height of two rows of icons/buttons. But each time I restart the PC the height is reset to one row. (Auto-hide is preserved.)<br>
On another computer running the same Windows build (10.0.15063) the two row height is preserved between restarts.

Is there a fix for this, registry or otherwise? I already checked "Taskbar settings", but to no avail.

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

theres a windows 10 tweak thread started by w1zzard, i suggest keeping all the tweaks in there.

 

Taskbar changes height when toolbars have icons set to "Large"

There has been an issue with the Windows taskbar which drives me crazy. It has been a problem since Windows XP and the "skinning" of the underlying user interface controls. It still persists in Windows 10.

When using a Toolbar on the Taskbar and the icon size is set to "small", the clickable targets are smaller than the vertical height of the taskbar. No problem, right? Either make the taskbar icon set to "small" as well and the clickable target area matches.

But what if I like the large buttons to click on? Setting the Toolbar (not taskbar!) icons to Large causes the taskbar vertical height to increase. This is fine for the Toolbar, but the application icons in the Taskbar now have an unclickable space beneath
them. See image below (not my image... found online when trying to find a solution to this.)





This doesn't happen in Windows 7 when using the "Windows Classic" scheme... so the problem must derive from the Aero skinning of the taskbar.

To recreate:

• Right click on the taskbar and Unlock it.
• Ensure taskbar is set to "large icons" mode from Taskbar properties dialog box.
• Right click an empty area of the taskbar and create a new Toolbar.
• Right click on the label of the toolbar and choose View > Large Icons

This wouldn't necessarily be an issue if the clickable region of the Application Icons was the full vertical height of the visible taskbar. It also wouldn't be an issue if the Toolbar "Large Icons" setting didn't have icons bigger than the Application Icons.

If there is a registry hack or other solution PLEASE let me know! I have had this problem with Toolbars since Windows XP, and the Toolbars are essential to my workflow.

Thanks!
