I am only getting a single line label for the Start Menu icons. In some cases the label is truncated so I have to move the mouse over it to verify what app it represents. I have seen images in some articles that show multiple lines for the icon label or and extended label on one line. I have looked everywhere but cannot find a setting for this. Does this exist? I am on the latest 22H2 update.

This is what I was referring to. Notice the two Microsoft apps and Adobe app whose labels are truncated.

Ah! I see!
Hmmm..., perhaps it depends on the amount of characters, or the screen dpi..., not sure... 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I just noticed that! Maybe it's because they're UWP apps? 🤷‍♂️
Try renaming one of your Win32 apps, see what happens...
