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?

Thank you for letting me know.
It's highly likely that the modifications to the registry settings and the installation of third-party apps are affecting the taskbar behavior, even after adjusting the scale.
I would suggest reverting the changes made to the registry settings and uninstalling any third-party apps that might have altered the taskbar. After doing so, restart your computer and check if the taskbar size returns to normal or responding to Scale change.
If you're unable to undo the registry changes, do you regularly back up your registry or have a system restore point set? You can use that.
If none please let me know.

No, any affected and any changes there are not fixed I tried to uninstall third part app and set to default setting the registry
Thank you for letting me know.
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.

It does not work. The task bar is every time the same. Its it giganto-normous, with the time and date in two lines, and extra space above it and below it. At the lease twice/trice larger than it used to be in W10 taskbar.
