Here’s how to change Taskbar Button Size in Windows 10.
Change Taskbar Button Size
The Windows 10 taskbar helps you quickly switch between apps and access your most-used programs. By default, the taskbar buttons are sized for general use, but you might prefer smaller buttons to save space or larger ones for better visibility.
Fortunately, Windows 10 gives you control over taskbar button size with a simple setting toggle.
- 1.Right-click any empty space on your taskbar
- 2.Select "Taskbar settings" from the menu
- 1.In the Taskbar settings window, find the "Use small taskbar buttons" option
- 2.Toggle the switch to turn this setting on or off
When you enable "Use small taskbar buttons," your taskbar icons will immediately shrink to a more compact size. This creates more room on your taskbar for additional pinned apps and running programs.
To return to the standard button size, simply toggle the setting off again. The change happens instantly, so you can experiment with both sizes to see which works better for your workflow.
This setting affects all taskbar buttons, including pinned apps and running programs. The smaller size is particularly useful if you have limited screen space or prefer a more minimalist desktop appearance.
