No small taskbar icons option was bothersome for me. Have to deal with it on my work PC. So much lost screen space ๐ญ
This is in my top 10 reasons not to switch. You can make them small still via a registry edit, but then it messes up the date/time display.
Yeah I'd rather not be making regedits and of course can't even do that on a work device.
I've blocked the Win11 upgrade on my work laptop via GPO, but I'm a sys eng, so have full control.
Used W11 for the first time recently, the lack of small task bar buttons blew my mind. Decluttering the task bar is the first thing I do on a new computer.
