To increase the size of the icons and buttons in the taskbar. If you intend to keep the taskbar at the current height, lock the taskbar again so that you don’t accidentally change its height. Likewise, if you’re someone who uses a Vertical taskbar on Windows 10, move your cursor to the left or right edge of the taskbar and resize it from there. Once your taskbar is set at a preferable height, let go of the mouse button. Step 3: Click and drag the mouse up and the height of the taskbar will change accordingly. Step 2: Once unlocked, move your cursor to the top edge of taskbar, and the cursor will turn into a double-sided arrow. Step 1: Right-click on the taskbar and uncheck the Lock the taskbar option. The first and the quickest method to increase the size of the taskbar is through the Resize tool.

Is there something I don't know how/what to do so the programs always open in the locations I want? I don't know if it's something easy that I'm missing, or if "that's just the way it is.If your work requires you to constantly use the taskbar for accessing the Start menu, switching apps or using the Action Center, here are a couple of ways through which you can make the taskbar bigger and easily accessible. UGH! I have the most difficulty with the Edge window as I want it to always open using only the left-half of my screen, but for whatever reason it will open full-screen and I'll have to try numerous times to get it to the size I want and have it reopen in only that space. After playing around a bit an INFURIATING thing happened again that happens EVERY time I make any adjustments to the display setting or update the video driver - my programs open either in different locations that I want, or they open full-screen. I played around with resizing the type only, and went back to scaling up to 150% with the text at 100% so icons and such would be bigger.

Is the only difference between the drop-down box and the "advanced scaling settings" is that you can select sizes other than the set 125, 150, 175, etc.? My aging eyes aren't the greatest any longer, so I had the size of "text, apps, and other items" set to 150%. My cat watches bird videos on the left-half while I'm doing other stuff on the right-half. I have a 34" monitor and when I open Edge, I like it to take up the left-half of the screen, and when I open Outlook I like it to take up the right-half of the screen. Thank you for this article, but I'm still confused.
