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
That's not my experience. I have it behaving the way I want it to and looking like Windows 2000 which I regard as the best Windows from an aesthetic point of view; also because it's the OS I got my MCSE in about twenty years ago so I'm nostalgic about it. I have the original start menu, a quick launch menu, a normal height taskbar with button labels, folder thumbnails and the start button on the left, where it should be. I also have none of those God awful touchscreen tiles anywhere on my system. I then imaged my customised and completed system so I had to do all the configuration work just once. It took a fair bit of research to find the various tweaks and hacks necessary to accomplish what I couldn't do myself but I can assure you, they're out there. You just have to look.
If you think Windows 11 is a jail then it's only because you haven't found the cell door key yet.
Buntobox yeah, I get a new car and then must I search for a Engine and Wheels that fit on.... If I only look a new Taskbar, there were a size of icons and labels a big preblem, so they remove it. I dont want to edit Registry and use of some Software only to have my old look back. I have disabled any Update for Win11.
Well, unless you're able to create your own OS in order to have it just the way you like it, you're going have to accept what you get. I've told you that you can have a fair degree of control over how Windows 11 looks. If you're not willing to do the configuration work required to make that happen then you really have no legitimate grounds for complaint.
Buntobox Hi
In your private computer, you take full responsibility for what you do!
Computers managed in the organization is a completely different matter, it should be mentioned that not everyone is a programmer and is afraid that manual fixes will not work properly = for me it is obvious!
Brakedirt Hi
Does that mean you still have Windows10?
Are you not updating Windows11 and it is already installed?
I will add that downloading updates for Windows11 is a must!- I have Laptop and PC. I have install win11 on Pc, after 3 Hours win11 was Uninstalled. What a mess!!! My Vive Pro VR stop working, half software work not normally. So, win 10 new install. Never again.
- Cool story. Quite useless bragging to any reader coming here for the info, though 😞
