Is it possible to manually set the size of the Windows 11 taskbar icons to 32x32?

Win11 has scaled down the taskbar icons from 32x32 to 24x24, causing custom icons to appear blurry. Is there a registry method to restore the original size?

    Yes, in Windows 11, the taskbar icons have been scaled down, which can make custom icons appear blurry or less sharp. While Microsoft hasn't officially provided a straightforward setting to revert icon size for the taskbar, some users have found that editing the registry can influence icon scaling and size.

    Yes, in Windows 11, the default taskbar icon size has been scaled down, which can cause custom icons to appear blurry or pixelated. While there isn't a straightforward GUI setting to revert the icon size to the original 32x32, you can try adjusting certain registry settings to modify the taskbar icon size.
