Double taskbar

So for this toolbar issue, it's a bit complicated to explain, but follow this and it should be fine:
1/ Place yourself in a blue corner of the bar and uncheck "Lock the taskbar"
2/ Go to the extreme top corner of the toolbar and lift it up high to see clearly
3/ Observe the columns made with dots; the double line needs to go all the way down, otherwise, it's a column that has positioned itself like a line in another column, so grab the line by the double dots and recreate a column that goes down to the bottom
4/ Position yourself again at the end of the toolbar with the mouse and pull it down to the bottom again; if you can't go all the way down, go back up and rearrange the columns properly
Good luck

Hello,

I had this problem and the solution is to right-click on the double column of small dots, select display, and then small icons.

You need to position the cursor at the top of the taskbar, the cursor will turn into a up-down arrow, click and hold the cursor and drag down to decrease the bar, or drag up to increase it.

Hello Nico,
I already tried that, but if I want to reduce it this way, it disappears completely.
Either it stays huge (double size)
or it disappears.
My icons are small.
Thank you.

If you have a small square FR on the left (next to the start menu), it means the language bar is activated. You need to remove it by right-clicking on the little square and your taskbar will return to a normal size!
I searched for a little while!!
Good luck to everyone!

Hello,
I don't know how to check if the Google bar is there, and I don't know how to remove it if it is...
Could you give me some explanations?
Thank you.

Hello, this message is a bit old, but I'm taking my chance.
So, apparently I have the same problem and I can't resolve it.
My taskbar is on two levels, it is not locked, on the right the icons with the clock etc. are on 2 levels, on the left a line with the start menu and my quick launch icons, and when I launch Google for example, it opens under this line instead of beside it.
My taskbar is double and I can't figure out how to fix the problem.
Thank you for your help.

For those who might be interested in XP if your taskbar icons are huge and pixelated:

Desktop, right-click, appearance, Windows Classic style -> OK
Desktop, right-click, appearance, Windows XP style -> OK

And everything goes back to small!!

See you!

Hello,
does anyone have the solution?
Usually,
the taskbar is indeed double. The upper part contains "Quick Launch" and below it is an X bar. This X bar is not in the list of toolbars, where I only have "Quick Launch." The launched applications are placed in this X bar. When I try to minimize, both bars disappear. When I unlock it, I try to move the icons, but nothing works.
Thanks. If anyone has the solution.

Thank you, it was good, the language bar.

For my part, it worked by removing a toolbar called PowerDVD..
We'll see.. And I was able to reduce it correctly... Otherwise, I would reduce it but it would remove it completely..

A big thank you for your explanations because I had this issue too, there are still nice people to explain, thank you very muchhhhhhhhh!

Hello;

1- Right-click on the taskbar ==> Unlock
2- Right-click on the taskbar ==> Click at the top on the toolbars menu
3- Uncheck as many options as possible to reduce the height of the taskbar (you can check some of them afterwards).

And then that's it.

Hi,

right-click on the blue bar, uncheck "lock the taskbar," then you will have a border above your bar, you select it when the arrows appear and then you drag the bar down.

How are your icons, "large" or "small" (normal)?

Have a good evening.

Hello, it comes from your too many icons or you have the Google bar in there, remove it.
