How to Change Taskbar Size in Windows 11
Some people wanted to make the taskbar smaller on Windows 11, there is a registry tweak which helps solve this problem. But when Microsoft release the official version, I am sure there will be more features added to Windows 11 to fix these minor Windows 11 problem.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
create DWORD 32bit value and call it "TaskbarSi"
Set value to 1, 2 or 3

Thanks very much for this video. It lets me know that the way I like to manipulate my taskbar is gone. I use multiple displays and keep the taskbar in a different location on each one - came looking for how to personalize the taskbar again and all I’m finding is this size option requiring edits in the registry… how bleak and boring. But I gather we who used it that way we’re viewed by the company as a small bunch not worth the (apparently large) effort to include the old and long accustomed (decades, here … decades of OSs… and loving this) option. Now just imagine what people with life-threatening changes feel like when THEY get marginalized.

Thanks, it worked, hopefully, MS adds this feature. The only problem when I add '0' as value, the first 'icons' being date/time, internet, etc., on the far bottom right, aren't aligned properly, they're a bit downward. So I had to keep the value to '1' for better alignment.

@knightofsg 2 жыл бұрын

I noticed when you're having a value '1' your taskbar day/time show also the day, while mine doesn't and when you're switching to value '0' , the day/time and internet icon are centred horizontally, but mine keep showing a bit downwards, not perfectly aligned, even after I installed the latest 15 February 2022 update KB5010414.
