Windows 10: Where Do Taskbar App Icons Go When Space Runs Out on the Windows 11 Taskbar?

I keep a lot of app icons on my taskbar. When I use a monitor with low resolution, not all of the apps can fit on the visible taskbar. In windows 10 and below, I would be able to scroll down to see the missing icons. But in Windows 11, a dividing line appears after the last icon that fits, and only the icon of the active program appears. I have no idea how to access all the other icons that do not fit on the taskbar. I cannot find anything about this issue online, because I always find stuff about the "overflow menu" which is a completely different issue. I am talking about the regular taskbar

Video Thumbnail on Taskbar

The feature is called Taskbar preview and is not supposed to remain open after you remove the cursor from the icon. So it is working proper when it closes preview once the cursor is removed from the Taskbar icon.

EDIT: I have seen Taskbar preview stick and stay open before myself even after the cursor has been removed but that not suppose to happen and I don't know for sure why it happens in the first place but I'm guessing it has to do with memory running low .....

 

Help!, windows taskbar disapeared!!!

Try Ctrl+Esc.

If Recycle Bin is the only icon you can see, open it, from the explorer window navigate to Control Panel and find Taskbar settings there.

 

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.
