This man is a simulated character . There’s no way he’s a real person

My issue really is the lack of a proper size option. I've always used the small taskbar in windows 10 and I like having extra space rather than a large taskbar for no practical reason.

I tried Win 11, and it's a huge step back from Win 10 in the accessibility area. Windows 10 Start menu and task bar are better thanks to all the customizable options. Win 11 feels more restrictive. Also, the Notifications centers felt downgraded

This man is a legend. He included the registry location in the description. Well Played King.

I've been binge watching these videos for two weeks and I feel so much smarter! Thanks Kevin

I just wish we could still use Groups and folders in the start Menu at least as an option. I use it and it helps me have all my important apps and folders Right in Front of me in the Menu and it's a big help. Having to go back makes it a deal breaker for me.

I really liked the small icons with the taskbar, but it make my time and date get semi cut off. Is there any way to make the icons small without that happening?

Man, thank you so much for such a concise, comprehensive, easy to understand and actually useful video.

making the taskbar small wasn't a great option, there were a lot of space between the icons and right hand side of the taskbar was cut in half

You're the best, I was trying to move my taskbar to the top I watched many videos but nothing was like yours. 🙂

Thank You Kevin, You made my day. I'm wondering why Microsoft didn't leave the option for top taskbar. I'm using the top option from the beginning of Windows. Love the way Apple did that. That way Windows and programs options are all at the same place. Easy to navigate and work.

The fact that they’ve permanently combined tasks into single icons forcing you to hover and perform multiple clicks just to switch to another app is a *major* deal breaker for me. Wow. EDIT: Turns out there’s StartAllBack, _yet another_ hack to revert these changes. Yay for more and more hacks just to get Windows back.

I downloaded it from the link in the desc and it broke my laptop, thanks man

It's so cool that you know all this stuff!!

You're a legend, a living one.. Thank you, I have a Surface Pro & this means I can write or ''move around'', "in" the computer more freely without bumping something. Just little things like this make the biggest difference.

Thank you. It was driving me nuts on my MSI desktop that everything was in the center rather than on the left.

An Another Interesting Tech Video, I Was Wondering How To Customize The Taskbar, And Then I Saw This Video, I Guess He Can Read Our Minds, I Want To See Him Hit 1 Million Subscribers Soon...

I wasn't considering downloading Windows 11 but I this video showcased plenty of features that changed my mind. Thank you Kevin for the topnotch content as usual 🙏

Thank you so much Kevin. Love this video. You're a savior. My laptop updated, adding a whole bunch of icons I didn't need or want. Thanks again for helping me get rid of them. I'm only going to jump on your videos from now on.

thank u for the tutorial kevin! i just got my new laptop today and its windows 11!! this video is helpful thank u so much

the fact that "genius hovindu " didnt come yet is kinda ironic

Kevin: D as in desktop .. (the smile lol)

Thanks, Kevin for the great videos that you do. The first time I used Windows, the copy that was installed on my system, the taskbar was on the top. That was Windows 3 or 3.1 (dark ages ago ;-) I have never used the taskbar on the bottom of any of my personal systems. I was really surprised when my wife's new computer upgraded to 11 and there was no (user) way to locate it to the top. I can understand adding new functionality but taking something away is going backward. As a rule, I very seldom update the registry...as Microsoft and others caution against it. Your instructions are very straightforward to make the change. I plan on sending the same message to Microsoft. Thank you for the work-around. Irv in Florida.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH I WANTED THIS HELP THANK YOU!!!

Taskbar 11 is pretty interesting... Thanks for the tip Kevin :-)

Thanks a lot Kevin I will remember what you said even though my machine cant run Windows 11.

I've successfully placed the taskbar at the top of the screen using this method. Thank you, man. But what about the flyout previews? The flyouts still come from the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to move them up to the top, so as to match the taskbar layout properly?

Geeze - happy to have found you - spent 30 minutes just trying to get the pin/unpin directions from other sites- which were all complicated, super confusing & provided several ways to screw up more. Your info rec'd and done in 1:28 minutes. Thanks!

Thanks, Kevin. Great video. I was a little concerned about the size of the taskbar as I have got a lot of apps in mine. Now I know how to sort this out. Great stuff. Thanks again.

Near 1M! and he deserves! :D

It would appear that moving the taskbar from bottom to top using regedit no longer works. I change the reg entry from 03 to 01 and restart Windows explore (or just reboot). The modified entry reverts back to its original value of 03.

Just one dream in Windows 11. Taskbar transparent on top, and Time and Calendar in the middle, just like MacOS

Hey bro , one week ago I got a developer update to my win 11. Now my taskbar isnt moving to top. Registory is changing itself to previous setup even I edited it. Update the video.

Honestly it feels as though they have made things much more confusing in windows 11, I prefer windows 10 due to the easy accessibility and freedom you have with it. Edit : after a week with Windows 11 I have realised that it is not bad as people say, although it is just a little harder to operate than windows 10 once you get the hang of it it is quite easy.

I didn't really like windows 11 And I kinda wanna know how to go back to windows 10 But.. this is SUPER HELPFUL THANK SO MUCH :)

i just noticed we can open apps then right click on it while at taskbar and pin to taskbar before i watched this! and this tutorial was really useful

Hey! Is it also possible to move the taskbar to the left or right with the method you've shown? (i'd imagine, it is with typing in 02 or 04...)

Excellent job on this video. Great delivery, guidance, and support materials! If only we could have our functional taskbars back!!!

Kevin, You do the best explanation of anyone on KZfaq. Please keep up the great work.

I love these videos, so well explained, tyvm !!

Thanks for this wonderful video. But how can I get the feature "Never combine icons on the taskbar" back again on Windows 11?

Moving Taskbar to top doesn´t work on Win 11 22H2

Thank you, you saved me time to find how to remove some icons that i didn't want on taskbar

*Thanks I got a lot of information out here that I need*

Nice... thanks for all the help. Any hints on how to reduce the spacing of the icons on the taskbar? I don't have so many they overflow, but they do seem too far apart from one another.

Hello Kevin, How do you rearrange the position of the icons on the taskbar? In W10 was easy to move the icon just by grabbing it and placing it to right or left. The icons are stuck in any order are placed by W11 on the taskbar.

Your video is really helpful, I was trying to get the desktop icon in the end but was struggling. Other videos were not helpful but you did it man...thanks so much. Your videos are always helpful, have seen others videos on MS teams, outlook all were insightful and have helped a lot to organize work.

Thank You Kevin, I did manage to move my Taskbar to the top by editing the Register Editor with the info provided on your Description, very nice

Thanks Kevin for the great video. One of the big disappointment for spreadsheet heavy-users like many of us, is that it's no longer possible to Extend (and Title) the currently opened programs in the taskbar. This is unbelievable that MS dropped this feature. Even the option is not existing. Is there a way to reactivate it, you think ? Big thanks for the advise.

Interesting - thank you, is there a way to make the font on the monitor larger?

Hello from Croatia and congrats for your work on YT... Everyone useful tips from you thanks... Next topics please: How to set the windows in W11 to NEVER COMBINE in the taskbar... Please please please 🙏💕

One of my favourites is the Start Folders which adds an icon next to the power button. Settings -> Personalization -> Start -> Folders

We are getting so close to 1m subscribers, hope you have something big for that.

Thanks Kevin! The new taskbar in Windows 11 I like, but I miss the possibility of inserting in the taskbar the new toolbars that were possible in Windows 10. It is possible to enable this facility through the registry editor or only with applications from third parties?

Thank you so much! ❤ I've been racking my brain on how to change the task bar icons! Definitely subscribing, you're the best!

unlocking the Taskbar would be good.. Thanks for the great video.

That is it! Waited enough to get more and more information on Windows 11 and what it can do and now I am confident enough to install it. Loved this third party software Taskbar XI.I love this video. You're the best out of the best 🏆

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the video. After changed taskbar size, how could I change the space between icons in it? Thanks again.

thank you, you were so much help and i love my taksbar now and everything that i have change from this video than you

The amount of times he smiles. Excellent tutorial.

kevin didnt do the "Hey everyone my name is Kevin"😔

Is criminal what Microsoft did with the taskbar in Windows 11 💩.

The network, volume, date icon, don't seem to resize. They seem to settle the bottom of the bar with being cut in half, any solution...??

hey @kevin stratvert with the new update on win 11 the task bar was taken back down as default and its unable to change using the above mentioned settings. please help me fix this if possible

Thanks Kevin. Love watching your videos. Makes us all smarter 😃. I do have a related question to this video: I used to use the Quicklaunch facility where I right-clicked Win10 taskbar, up to Toolbars and added a New toolbar which pointed at a folder containing all my most useful links and this was permanently docked on the right of the taskbar. The upgrade has removed this and I can't see a way to put it back. Has is totally disappeared? If so, knowing you, I'm sure you have a smart work-around.

Kevin, do you permanently use Windows 11 on your PC, or is it on a Virtual Machine? Because it seems to be working really fast 🔥

the taskbar size one was awsome since my laptop screen is small it will come handy

This guy is a genius.

Hi Kevin ! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Indeed very helpful and easy to follow. I just need one more information which is not given in this tutorial and I am also unable to figure it out. The taskbar can populate only 20 odd icons. I have around 32 icons on my taskbar. But I can see only 20. How can I see the balance 12 icons. Even if reduce the size of icons, still I cannot see the balance. In Windows 10, there was a sign for overflow. So it was easy to roll to next page. I will sincerely appreciate if you can please help me in this. Thanks in advance. Cheers !

Great vid. Love the Colombian music at the end lol. Cheers from Medellin.

Thanks for the first tip!! I had a bit of a struggle until I found it!

Ah this is an excellent video, I was not enjoying the default task bar icon sizes, life saverrrrrrrr

thanks Kevin, helped me loads. your videos are always clear, concise and to the point.

Thank you. Keeping this video forever.

OMG UR THE GUY THAT LITERRALY TEACHED ME EVERYTHING ABOUT PYTHON

Very interesting...especially the size of the icons

Todaaay, I wanna thank Kevin for educating me and debunking those earlier reports saying that It is impossible to change Windows 11 taskbar settings, resize it and pin apps to it. Once again, thank you "Kevin-Microsoft"!

Thank you very much. I just upgraded to Windows 11 and your video helped a lot.

Thank You for make my Taskbar the way Microsoft should do as default.Thank You for the application.

alot of people says that windows 11 is bad and not worth it but in my side i say that its a good upgrade from microsoft

Unfortunately on my laptop if I set the TaskbarSI to 0, part of the notification area is hidden where the time and date is displayed

Thank you very much Kevin...I like to know more about windows 11.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!! I just updated to Win11 and the default taskbar size was just too big for me, and I initially couldn't find any setting that would decrease its size. Now I'm good. hahaha THANKS AAAAAAAAAA LOTTTTT!!!

Win11 task bar can't move sideways was really a showstopper, especially when wide screen monitors are getting more popular. I dug around and found out about Startallback, which solved the problem very nicely.

i stupidly upgraded to windows 11 today. it looks horrible! why cant they leave a good look alone!!!!???? you video helped me so much! Thank you!!!!!

your speech are great man and i think all your subscriber are understand easily thanks man

just recently upgraded to windows 11 honestly gonna give it a shot till 12 comes around which isn't that far off and I'll just get a free upgrade to pro version of it yet again but thanks for the help this vid helped out a lot PS even if 11 is the way it is at least I appreciate its not terrible windows 8 till we got 10 was fun staying on 7 till 10 released but I never wanna experience a OS like 8 ever again.

Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I was about to go back to Windows 10 but this helped.

You're a masterpiece man❤😢.. I tried many things to move my taskbar, but nothing worked. Finally I met your video. GRATEFUL THANKS FOR YOU

This is exactly what i needed. Awesome. Thank you so much.

This is a good tutorial and helps in many areas; however, unlike Win10, an open app doesn't display the appropriate window. ie. If I am working with two Word documents, I am unable to readily see which to select!

Kevin! You are the best. I watched your videos for almost two years. But Windows 11 UX is similar to Windows 10.

taskbar transparency settings is awesome 👌 thank you

Broke my taskbar thanks

Thank you kevin! I just switched to win 11

Dude!!! Awesome! you are my favorite AI!!!

Hi. I was able to successfully resize my icons awhile back through your video. However, I am honestly not sure what happened, but now they are large again and the same method does not work. Any other suggestions?

Nice... thanks for all the help

THIS WAS A AWSOME VIDEO AND I LEARNED A LOT. BUT I WANTED TO PUT MY PWER BUTTON ON MY TASK BAR.

Thanks for the HELP.
