Icons are Overlapping in Windows 11 Taskbar

Hi Atharv -

I'm Kevin B., I do apologize for the inconvenience that you're experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

When did the issue started?

Kindly try to adjust the size of your taskbar and check if the icons adjust along with the taskbar.

You may also try to adjust the scale and layout of your windows and check if it helps in resolving the issue with the taskbar.

Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Display Settings

Display Settings windows will pop-up, locate scale and layout

Change the value under scale and layout and check if the icons are still overlapping icons on your taskbar.

If the icons on the taskbar is still not working, kindly follow the steps below

Open the Windows PowerShell as administrator

Type the command below and press enter after the command

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Close the Windows PowerShell and restart the computer

Check if the same issue appears

Hope this will help and have a bless day!

Thanks.

Kevin B.

Just like what's showed above. I've tried the answers in https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/icons-are-overlapping-in-windows-11-taskbar/905f5d5e-6dd3-4836-8718-282481c04a0b . Resetting scale and layout doesn't work, but when I add a new user it rightly displays as the second answer advised. But what's the next step? My main account still not changed at all.
