Do you like to change taskbar size? let me know in comments below.

[@tektkite7255]

Hey fuckbag, maybe dont hide the taskbar if you show taskbar size. dumbass

[@CesareVesdani]

The Taskbar should be customizable in the new build of Windows 11.

[@breakdown7553]

yes. absolutley ridicolus that you can't change the size anymore. You could before by a registry edit, but they even removed that option!!! Sometimes I wonder on what planet these UI devs from Microsoft live.

[@CesareVesdani]

@@breakdown7553 I know, that's not fair.

[@skip741x3]

@@breakdown7553 I know brother! I just updated to the latest windows 11 and was greeted by this huge banner sized task bar that im finding is not easily resized... wtf microsoft?

[@MrJCMG]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for something like this for ages. I had a mod earlier that could do this but then my laptop broke and when I got it repaired the mod no longer worked. This makes such a difference to my focus because I found the big icons in the task bar so distracting.

[@SupraManG]

Brian, I appreciate your videos and advice. I also wish to give my utmost condolences for your loss and hope that comfort comes to you and your family.

[@breakdown7553]

Thanks man, for the video. My biggest issue with windows 11 so far was actually the taskbar size, that you couldn't make it smaller anymore and even the registry edit didn't work anymore. So for a while I was using Start 11, which does give you the option to make it smaller, but I had various issues with the software. So now I just typed in "windows 11 taskbar smaller" on KZbin agian, sorted by upload date, to see if a new "trick" came up. And this here is PERFECT. Hopefully Windhawk won't make any problems over time, but so far it works great!

[@audiovisualproof5407]

Just finished setting up my Windows 11 taskbar with Windhawk and it's GREAT! I only used 3 mods which were perfect for me. 1) Resizing the Taskbar. 2) Disabled Grouping. 3) Closing open folders and programs using the middle mouse button. What's even better is, I added Windhawk to Task Scheduler to run at Startup with highest privileges and to run whether logged on or not. Now when I start my computer the mods are injected even before logging on. And get this! By adding *-exit [-wait]* to the Shortcut's Target box, Windhawk will load at Startup and quietly exit in the background *after loading the mods.* It's like Windhawk is there and not there at the same time. 😉👍

[@chuerk648]

Hi! I just saw your comment, I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on your process, if you don't mind. I don't know how to add to Windhawk to Task Scheduler, and I also want to add "-exit [-wait]" like you said, but I don't know where and how to do that exactly. Would you mind helping me out, my friend? :)

[@shantilkhadatkar1195]

@@chuerk648 Any updates?

[@mrcabbie]

Thanks for all your fantastic Video's Brian, and don't bother all those negative people or comments, a dutch proverb (translated for you) is "one ear in, one ear out". Keep having fun making your great tutorials, many people can learn about those and you do a great job in the way you explain a lot of things in a very clear way, that is a gift not all the people own, maybe some comments will feels to be negative but it's about the way the comment are written and may be not meant to be negative, just filter the comments you like (people who explain their way of doing things, 'there are many ways to approach Rome') and whose you don't and just ignore them. So keep up the good work on your fantastic tutorials, I like them! 👍

[@hankrol7830]

THX for this. Will try it out.

[@RomanM-pq8ev]

Thanks, perfect app. I finally managed to reduce the size of the Windows 11 panel, because on the latest version it no longer works through the registry. Thanks :)) 👍

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

That’s a cool application. To go along with it there are a couple of channels that show some registry hacks that will align the start menu to the left like it was in XP and to get a proper menu when you right click items. Good lookin out with that Key Vendor that sponsors you. I was hesitant to use it but need another pro license and it was painless. Thanks

[@umurcanortug33]

thank you so much ı looked for this long time and finally found a way

[@juancarlosapontemoreta648]

thanks really helps a lot

[@inxept]

FINALLY something that actually works! Thanks a lot! :)

[@coolsid1982]

You're the best. Thank you.

[@johnpedersen8387]

I don't change it for the size. I change it for funktionallity so that I can get all the settings that i had in Windows 10. I use Explorer Patcher from Github. Rightclick context menu can alsow be fixed, and let the taskbar not combinding icons. I love that program.

[@fudi3]

thank you sm for this vid

[@KelticLad]

Great Video...! yeah I like my icons small

Glad you like them!

thank you, it's working on Windows 22H2 22621.2428

[@AlEx-cl1ey]

What a Gamechanger - Finally i got rid off the ugly big Taskbar. Thank you Buddy! 😉

[@ncironhorse8367]

Thank you. The regedit did not work. This did and restored my sanity to resize the taskbar.

[@mda5003]

I know how to put an icon on to the taskbar but how can I put an icon from the taskbar in to the 'hidden icons' behind the up arrow icon? Yes, it works for the 'expanded' section on the right-hand side but not those on the left or in the centre. I've looked in the Taskbar Notification area but the icon I want is not listed.

[@lorenakademar5267]

I was expecting a customization using the own windows tools not a third party sw....anyway...thank for your videos and tips!!

[@piavu6020]

you're not gonna find that

[@US_Joe]

Will the icons "stack" if you made the height triple size w/small icons? May sound crazy, but my Win 10 taskbar is 3 rows of icons which autohide. Thanx Brian 👍👍👍

[@Britec09]

Did not test that.

[@jdvdhooft8732]

It is stupid that this is not possible in Windows 11. In Linux Mint you can adjust this by defaukt.

[@prides11]

Even in windows 10

[@PieManXD]

[@XXxTenta_Edits]

i just can say thanks bro

[@arsims1]

I like and liked always only the default setting of Windows 11 and all another versions of Microsoft Windows, only the default settings are the best for ME.

[@raula.8881]

Mate it'll be helpful for me and many more if you suggest "how I can run utility (CTT- Can't run without admin privileges) and debloat everything as user account same as Admin account" I mostly create user account and use it rather using actual Admin account. Or any other suggestions to debloat user account and remove non essential programmes and background processes would be helpful. Cz windows just makes another fresh copy when you creat user account (non admin) Thanks.

[@JethiyaChampakGada]

finally something that works

[@michaelkeogh2667]

Had to go back to windows 10 with the iso video you did i was getting black flashes on windows 11 and microsoft edge just would not update just kept asking for permission.

[@Numb_Lock]

You right sir, haters actually help you. Since any comment is regarded as "engagement", and that equals more views for you. So thank you haters 😅

I have an issue with Asus Tuf F15. After clean installation of windows 11 on standard Mux Mode (integrated graphics) my external graphic card RTX 3050ti showing as removable media. I try to reinstall the driver but nothing happened.

[@SethKamins]

Hey Britec - Is there a toolbar mod for Windows 11? They removed this feature and I use it heavily.

[@Priest1908]

Can you make it rounded, just like Rounded DB?

[@user-vq9zk3xo4h]

Also make Linux look like any Windows, I forgot to mention that.

[@mikelock-zr5ru]

Is it possible to narrow the gap between the icons?

[@arijithalder2312]

Hi... I'm facing a problem with windhawk. After any windows update it stopped working. Takabar icons becomes big. Then all of a sudden its solves automatically. Is there any way to do it manually?

[@Beast80K]

Sir, *Is windows 11 reliable ?* I'm thinking of updating to Windows 11, it's requirements are supported. But I'm a bit afraid of stability & reliability.

[@amaansiddique]

Don't update to W11, W10 is best 😌

[@user-vq9zk3xo4h]

This should be a basic setting in Windows 11. Just like placing your taskbar at the top, left, and right. Just like in previous versions of Windows. And why they introduced hardware compatibility with Windows 11. God knows. Understand me Not bad, Windows 11 is an improvement over Windows 10. The settings are closer together compared to Windows 10. More user-friendly. Just like in macOS or Linux. I have been using Linux for more than 20 years. I can do that with a little work in settings to look like Macos without installing any software. I hope they add those two simple settings in an update someday.

[@osamagulona]

i try the same app nut its doesn't change mine in the new version 23h2

[@thefolkguy]

can I uninstall the app after and keep the changes?

you cant..app must be running in background

just use startallback or explorerpatcher or just hide the taskbar
