How To Change The Size of Taskbar Icons In Windows 11

September 8, 2021 by jerry23

With Windows 11, Microsoft introduced a revamped taskbar and Start menu. Windows 11 displays program icons, including the Start button, at the center on the taskbar instead of the left. In addition, search, Widgets, task view, and Chat icons appear by default on the taskbar, but they can be turned off.

Windows 11 does not offer a setting to change the default size of icons on the taskbar. Of course, you can change the scaling under the Settings app, but doing so changes the size of all icons (not just icons on the taskbar), text (everywhere), and other items that most people do not want to change.

Complete the directions given below to change the size of taskbar icons in Windows 11.

IMPORTANT: Changing the size of taskbar icons also changes the size of the taskbar accordingly. That is, if you increase the size of icons, the taskbar size will also be increased automatically to accommodate larger icons and vice versa. So, yes, this guide can also be used to make the taskbar smaller or larger.

Step 1: Use the Start/taskbar search to open the Registry Editor.
