I ran the prompt. I entered the value, I checked the box, the box had a blue check mark in it, I clicked the ok button, and my icons are still only partially visible. I've had so many problems with windows 11. This is the last change I need to make and it's not working. I guess I have to go in manually every time something changes and tell this piece of crap operating system to show each one individually. If I ever meet Bill Gates I will slap him like Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. As the police are taking me away I will scream out, "that's for not letting me automatically show all the icons on my taskbar in windows 11!!!"
