Taskbar issue

Hi,

I'm struggling to google this so thought I'd post it here in the hope that someone can help!

Recently upgraded to Windows 11 at work, and the taskbar keeps shortening, kind of breaking in two and leaving a big empty space to the right, and putting programmes behind a three-dot thing.

I've attached a picture.

How do I stop this happening so I can have my programmes take up the whole of the taskbar?

Thank you :)

Marc

    Right-click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings. Under Taskbar behaviors, look for options like Use small taskbar buttons. If it's enabled, try disabling it to see if it helps. Make sure Taskbar alignment is set to Left or Center as per your preference.
