Windows 10: Taskbar changes behaviour & size without warning! Why?

The bottom Taskbar keeps changing without warning.It starts as being smaller and stays not hidden at bottom, which is my preference.However suddenly, without warning, it becomes bigger and auto-hides, despite the Auto-hide NOT being selected. Why?

Taskbar icon size

When I first upgraded to Windows 11, the one problem I had was the size of the icons in the Taskbar. Being visually changed, they were just too small.



After some digging, I found a YouTube video by Kevin Stratvert ( ), that, in five steps, resolved the issue. This made the icons about the same size as small desktop icons (Ctrl+Shift+4). This was perfect and I have been quited satisfied with Windows 11 ever since.



Resize icons on taskbar:

1. Location in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
   
2. Click New and then DWORD (32-bit) Value
   
3. Set the name of the DWORD Value as “TaskbarSi” and hit the Enter key to save changes.
   
4. Large taskbar – TaskbarSi value 2
   
5. Restart Windows Explorer
   

Since applying 2023-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022913), the icons have reverted tom the original small size, so again, they are difficult to interpret quickly. I have removed the TaskbarSI from the registry and restarted Windows Explorer, the went through the steps above (adding TaskbarSi back), to no avail.



Has anyone else encountered this and are there any known tweaks that will restore the icons to their larger size.
