Windows 11 taskbar icons not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your interest in Windows 11. I understand that Taskbar icons are not working after upgrading to Windows 11. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

1. What happens when you click on an icon on the Taskbar?
   
2. Do you receive any error message/code?
   
3. Does this issue occur with all the icons?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try re-registering the taskbar and see if that works. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin)
   
2. Now type in the following command and hit Enter: Get-AppXPackage -User ([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name) *ShellExperienceHost* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
   
3. Restart the PC once the command is complete.
   

If the issue persists, you can try creating a new user account and then see if you are able to access the icons on the Taskbar.



Let us know how it goes.

How to enlarge icons (make icons bigger) in Small Taskbar Icons mode?

Hello, Tenforums.

in W10 settings, there is option to make Taskbar Icons smaller, by cliclikng on Use small taskbar icons
Use Large or Small Taskbar Buttons in Windows 10




When you toggle this mode on, this happens :
- the height of Takbar decreases
- the Icons on the Taskbar gets smaller
- the Icon is now "centered" horizontally, leaving some space above and below its body

this is the expected behavior.

My question is :
Is it possible - within the Use small taskbar icons mode -
to make the size of the icon bigger, so that all icons should now obtain the full area of Taskbar, but without enlarging the size Taskbar ?
In other words, so that the Icon becomes bigger to "eat" the space below and above?

The process which Im describing is possible to perform within the "Normal" size of Taskbar.
by using app 7+ Taskbar Tweaker




The effect is next :
-the Taskbar size remains the same
- all the icons gets bigger and takes now full space of Taskbar

in other words, I can transform the taskbar from this




into this





But unfortunatelly it doesnt have any effect on Use small taskbar icons mode

Also, I tried this solution
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
create New > Dword (32-bit) Value. name TaskbarSI. Hexadecimal = 2
but this also desnt work

StartIsBack++ doesnt work too. When clicking on L pr XL button sie, it just reverts the Taskbar to "Normal" state.

Can you please suggest, if it is possible to do something like that?
