    How do I resize the taskbar Icon back to its original size


    After upgrading to Windows 10 ver.1803.xxx the Icons on the Taskbar get very large when opening the corresponding app. As you can see on the screenshot the 2 apps that are open, Total Commander & Chrome, appear as very wide Icons on the Taskbar. With multiple apps open it clogs up the Taskbar and I would like to revert back to the normal narrow size. How do I do that?
    Thanks :)

    It's not actually the icon that's wide, what's taking up the space is the label extending to the right of each icon.

    Right-click on the Taskbar and select 'Taskbar settings'. Here you can change the way icons are grouped on the taskbar, to show no lables on any icon, choose 'Always combine, hide labels'. See this tutorial...
