I downloaded windows 11 and want to reduce the size of the task bar icons. I used the instructions to change the registry and there is no option in Task Bar behaviors to change the size. I'm reluctant to change the scale and size due to your warning that I may not be able to revert back.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to change the position of small icons on the Windows 11 taskbar. To do this, you would have to use third-party applications to modify the taskbar, for example, Start11 or StartIsBack.

    At the moment, Microsoft hasn't included these settings, but in my opinion, these options may come in the future.

    Give feedback if the information was useful or not.

    Thanks
