Personalization Change Size of Taskbar Icons in Windows 11


  • Staff
taskbar.png

Changing the size of the taskbar icons no longer works starting with Windows 11 build 22621.1343.

If you wanted to make the taskbar icons larger, you can still increase the DPI scaling level to do so. It will also make everything appear larger though.



The taskbar in Windows 11 shows the Start menu, Search, Task View, Widgets, File Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Store buttons (icons) aligned to the center by default.

You can change the size of taskbar icons to small, medium (default), or large.

This tutorial will show you how to change the size of taskbar icons to small, medium, or large for your account in Windows 11.


Depending on your DPI and screen resolution settings, using small taskbar icons could cause system tray icons and/or text (clock) on the far right corner of the taskbar to be misaligned.



EXAMPLE: Small, medium, and large taskbar icons

medium_taskbar_icons.jpg
large_taskbar_icons.jpg




Here's How:

1 Do step 2 (small), step 3 (medium), or step 4 (large) below for what you would like to do.

2 To Change Size of Taskbar Icons to Small

A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 5 below.​

Change_taskbar_icons_size_to_small_in_Windows_11.bat


(Content of BAT file for reference)
Code:
@echo off

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /V TaskbarSi /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

3 To Change Size of Taskbar Icons to Medium

This is the default setting.


A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 5 below.​

Change_taskbar_icons_size_to_default_medium_in_Windows_11.bat


(Content of BAT file for reference)
Code:
@echo off

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /V TaskbarSi /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

4 To Change Size of Taskbar Icons to Large

A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 5 below.​

Change_taskbar_icons_size_to_large_in_Windows_11.bat


(Content of BAT file for reference)
Code:
@echo off

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /V TaskbarSi /T REG_DWORD /D 2 /F

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

5 Save the .bat file to your desktop.

6 Unblock the .bat file.

7 Run the .bat file

8 You will now notice your screen flicker and a command prompt quickly opens and closes as the explorer process is restarted to apply the registry changes.

9 You can now delete the downloaded .bat file if you like.


That's it,
Shawn Brink

I did try these settings out, but I didn't find anything that I found worth keeping.
But I appreciate the suggestions. :clap:

But my personal opinion is that the Windows 11 interface is a half baked abomination.
And the crazy thing is that MS is preventing many users from installing the half baked abomination. Lucky them. :party:

That problem continues in the final 194 version. Too bad MS doesn't yet seem to be directing much attention to the 11 taskbar and its many annoyances.

They use 16:10 screens as both Bill Gates and myself have the SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc) 1600SW made by Mitsubishi of Japan for monitors which is 16:10.

Yes...I am one of those who wish the Taskbar had the option of smaller icons...with a smaller Taskbar. I always use small Desktop icons; I wish I could use a smaller Taskbar to match them. Hoping....

HI Shawn. I ran the batch-file Change_taskbar_icons_size_to_small_in_Windows_11 and it's shrunk my screen height top and bottom. Would you please tell me what to change to get back to where I was?

Hello David, :-)

Odd. It shouldn't affect anything other than the size of the taskbar and taskbar icons.

You can use step 3 to set it back to the default medium size.

Unfortunately to get a small taskbar additional software is required to avoid the misaligned issue.

To have a proper small taskbar I use Start11. This program has the original OEM icons and notification banner button on the right side.
You could also try StartAllBack but they alter the icons and notification way on the right side of the taskbar. So the looks are not OEM Windows 11. Up to you what your preference is.

After applying the BAT for the small taskbar, the alignment for Network & Internet settings +Clock & Calender is not right as mentioned by other users, it's dragged to the downside like the attached screenshot & date isn't visible

Any workaround to fix this?
Same problem here...

I change the icons for default size, but I prefer small icons...

I can confirm it's not working for me either in build 22621.1343. :(

Hopefully, it may again in a future build.

Hello everyone,
on my Windows 11 Pro it helped to change the value of the DWORD named: "TaskbarSmallIcons" from "0" to "1".
Registry branch: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
I hope this will be useful to someone.

The taskbar now looks like this:

Thank you for sharing Marcin, and welcome. :alien:

I tested this on build 25336, but it didn't make any difference to the taskbar icons size for me even after a restart.

You're on 22621.1194? That's a while back in MS history, I think.

Maybe if you have what you want in that version, you should hang on to it for a bit longer.

If I manage to install the update to 25336 then I will investigate the problem and share the results with you.
