I wonder if anybody has encountered with notification area icons size in Windows 10? Because after a Windows update the time panel under right-corner of screen

Before: https://i.sstatic.net/92BLg.png

After update : https://i.sstatic.net/41cS0.png

somehow disappeared. So there are still solutions about on the internet like unchecking "Lock The Taskbar" and dragging the panel up or to not use small taskbar buttons.

So I decided to not settle with this and I thought that if I change the size of the icons maybe this can be fixed,

I searched in :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

but I didn't get the correct registry location.

Can anybody provide where this is?

Reset to default

There is no registry value that controls the size of Notification Area icons.

You can reset the Taskbar to its default position (Bottom) & height with the following PowerShell (copy & past to console):

rp HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3 Settings
gps explorer | spps

But it doesn't affect the current state of Large/Small Taskbar icons or what toolbars are displayed, but toolbar divider positions are cleared.

  • No, nothing "has" to be in the registry, many aspects of appearance are hard-coded in .dlls
