Windows 10: Enlarge the taskbar - how it works

The taskbar is handy for starting and managing programs pinned there. If you use the taskbar very intensively, you may need more space. We show how you can make the taskbar bigger.

More space for program and file icons: With a larger taskbar, that's no problem.

Thanks to the taskbar, you don't always have to return to the desktop to launch programs.

Windows 10: Enlarge the taskbar - just a few clicks away

First, you need to uncheck the taskbar from its fixation.

• Right-click on the taskbar and uncheck "Fix taskbar" if it's set.

Now you can enlarge the taskbar. The most popular option is to double the height so that you have a second row for icons:

1. Hover the mouse pointer to the top of the taskbar until an icon with two arrows appears.
2. Then drag the taskbar upward while holding down the left mouse button.

This way you can not only double the taskbar, but add as many rows to it as your monitor allows. Denken Sie daran, die Taskleiste danach wieder zu fixieren, damit Sie sie nicht aus Versehen verschieben oder verändern.
