Windows 11 Taskbar unlock

I have just upgraded to Windows !! and now find that I cannot unlock the taskbar or even adjust the taskbar, or even minimise the icons that are in the taskbar. Clearly someone in Microsoft thought disabling these features was a great idea without consulting with the user community, judging by the post in this community.

When is this feature going to be reinstated? I find it extremely useful and now I have to waste more time looking through the hidden icons menu.

Not good enough I am afraid: this is definitely a retrograde step.

Here's a fun consequence of the Lock Taskbar feature disappearing:

Under Windows 10, with two screens, I've had the problem for years that the Taskbar on screen 2 spontaneously grows to 2 rows every once in a while. (The Taskbar on the main screen stays 1 row, as I want it.) The solution to this behavior has always been: unlock the Taskbar, resize the Taskbar on screen 2 to one row, lock the Taskbar).

Under Windows 11, the problem still exists. On my 2nd screen, the Taskbar has spontaneously resized to 2 rows. But now that the Lock Taskbar option has been removed, I have no way to correct this. So now I'm stuck with a double-sized Taskbar on screen 2.

Trying Explorer Patcher.

Hey! Follow steps in this link- https://pureinfotech.com/change-taskbar-size-windows-11/

That tells us how to change icon size on the Taskbar, it does nothing to resize the Taskbar itself, or unlock it.

Thank you!!

ExplorerPatcher. Someone here suggested it. I installed it. Now my taskbar is back at the top, where it belongs.
