This is my issue too. I just want the taskbar to be two rows high. Windows 10 allowed me to do this by simply dragging the top edge of the taskbar up. Why would Microsoft take away that functionality?
Window 11 Taskbar size

Hello! I recently updated my Windows 10 to Windows 11. However, the taskbar size is too small, and I have followed various methods to fix it but to no avail. Can you please help me fix this issue?

2024-06-11T10:08:22+00:00 I'd like to be able to resize the Taskbar so that the Icons wrap around and show on two lines - as in Windows 10.
Microsoft must be aware by now that this is an issue affecting users!

2024-03-09T01:34:04+00:00 I have same issue. Unable to make Taskbar smaller. Registry update with "TaskbarSi" DOES NOT work anymore. This chap you had been talking to is useless, I am glad he did not recommend you to re-install Windows :-).
No solution so far has been found.

With this in mind, and since the issue persists, please try resetting your computer. You have the option to keep your files and preinstalled apps. During the reset, all your installed app executables (exe or msi) will be deleted, but your files will remain untouched.
