Windows 11 taskbar labels
It looks like the perfect way - but it doesn't work here. I set the value to 2 and after restart and then checking it was set to 2 - but still no labels. Do you have any ideas? aBuntobox
RobertPatrician Startallback (free but with a minor pestering dialog on startup, and a frowning face on the start menu, or just pay a few dollars) returns the taskbar and start menu to any version of windows you like and puts back in all the customisations. I dislike the modern way. I do things simply. To start a program, I use the most recent apps in the start menu (I set it to 15 of them), anything not on there, I just start typing the name. The taskbar is not for icons, it's for running programs, with labels written in English, why should I remember the icon for every single program I use? Why should I not be able to tell if it's a link or a running program? As for the desktop, just like a real desk, I use that for temporary things only. No icons plastered all over it to start programs, which I can't see if there's a program running full screen!
sunnyrio Difficulty is that I"m on a government laptop. We can't just "go install some software" and it's a very hard sell to get something like StartAllBack installed. I'd gladly pay $20 right now to get my taskbar back, but it's just not an option.
Oh, you have one of those type of admins. I prided myself in doing what the user wanted. You want startallback installed, I'd do it for you. You wanna change your own wallpaper, go ahead. Most are power hungry morons.
Actually, since you're visually impaired, tell them you need it. It would be discriminating if they didn't let you. Threaten to sue them or put an article in a newspaper.
sunnyrio I'm a federal employee on a government laptop. I'm working on the process to initiate the request to begin review for the StartAllBack software. The admin team is similarly unhappy with this change, because windows 11 was a solution in search of a problem.
"I'm a federal employee on a government laptop"
Funny - we are in a public forum and it resembles advertising from other companies.
Anyone can write what they want -> but is it true?
In one thread, the scammer wrote that he is the CEO ... , to inspire trust, unfortunately you always need to have limited trust -> I ask everyone for it.
If you are visually impaired, do you use high contrast?
Do you have scaling magnification (non-standard), what level?
