    Win 11 24H2 update doesn't let change the taskbar color nor icon size and the right-click...


    After installing the recent 24H2 version downgrade, I notice my taskbar had changed. The icons size was larger and the color didn't conform to my theme. Also, I used be able to right-click on the taskbar and get a long list of menu option including Properties where I could change those thing. Now, only get two: "Task Manager" and "Taskbar Settings." Selecting "Taskbar Setting" takes one to Taskbar Settings page same as windows key +I, Personalization + Taskbar. But there is no way there to change icon size or taskbar color. Nor can I change the taskbar color in Colors or in Themes. Since

    :)

    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.
