How Do I Resize the Taskbar in Windows 11?
Related to the taskbar’s alignment is its size. Changing the taskbar size is extremely easy to do in Windows 10, so you’d think it’d be an option in the taskbar settings in Windows 11. Instead, the only way to resize the taskbar in this version of Windows is through a Windows Registry tweak. That said, there is a setting you can enable to auto-hide the taskbar, which essentially downsizes it automatically when your mouse isn’t focused on the taskbar.
