    I was happy with Win 10 but finally allowed Win 11 to install after it kept asking every day.

    Now I have to go to an extra step to open apps because I can't raise the height of the taskbar to show all my app icons - I have to click on an overflow ... icon first, revealing a hard to see set of icons on a light background.

    I see people have been complaining about this for a year with no fixes by Microsoft.

    If you go to "help" it gives the Win 10 information about changing taskbar height, but doesn't tell you it's for Win 10 and not Win 11. I spent a long time trying to figure out why I couldn't do what it said.

    I guess the idiot that decided not to allow the taskbar to be larger is still employed, somehow.

    Maybe 20k views will get the attention of the product team?

    Yes, bring it back. Why would you even take away this functionality. MS should be adding features, not taking away things that work and that people use.

    10 months from your comments and Microsoft is a slow moving company because nothing seems to have changed.
