Windows 10: Windows 11 Unlock Taskbar and Increase the height

Hello,How to unlock Windows 11 taskbar and allow me to increase the height so that I can have 2 rows to display all my applications? I'm able to do this in previous windows 10 and earlier. But since Windows 11, I couldn't do that anymore.I very DISLIKE the grouping of similar apps because I feel like I have to perform extra clicks or hoovering over the icon just to get to my app. I rather increase the taskbar height so it can store more apps for me. I find this more efficient than to try to figure out with excel spreadsheet or word doc I was working on and looking at those tiny preview win

:)

 

Taskbar will not increase or decrease height, even when unlocked

I thought one could make the taskbar shorter or taller in Windows 10. But even with taskbar unlocked, when I move the cursor over the taskbar and get the double arrow, I cannot either lift or lower it.

Any suggestions?

 

Windows 11 Taskbar unlock

That seems like a step backwards.

 

How to increase taskbar to 2 or more rows in Windows 11

I agree as I have the same issue. My Windows 10 workflow usually has 10-15 windows open and ungrouped so I can see the labels/names. So, it is a very important feature for me to have the ability to increase the taskbar height so it shows double or two rows of taskbar items. With windows 11 I lose both the ability to ungroup and to increase the taskbar height to have more rows for windows. This is a feature since Windows 98 and sadly a loss of productivity that will keep me from upgrading to Windows 11.
