[Start11] Anyway to disable scrolling on taskbar in Win11

from Stardock Forums

I recently upgraded to Win11 and Start11.  I wonder if there is anyway to disable the scrolling on the taskbar on Win11 when taskbar was set to "No Combine"?  When the taskbar have 15+ app open on the taskbar, it will automatically having a scroll bar on the taskbar to view other apps on the taskbar.  Can we just make it so that it will work just like Win10 without the vertically scroll bar on taskbar?

If there isn't enough space on Windows 10 it adds a scrollbar just like Start11 does.

How are you expecting it to work?

I remembered on Win10, if there are many apps on the taskbar, it will just shrink the icon size to very narrow without expanding to a second row that need scrolling.

iI just tested it on Win10.  Basically, you will see a bunch of icon like this if you have many many apps open, but there is no scroll bar

Actually, there will be a scroll button if you open up enough application in Windows 10 native taskbar.

Thank you,

I guess the problem is that when there are more than 20 apps in Win11, it show me the vertical scrolling, while Win10 will show that vertically scroll after 31 apps.   Perhaps, my question would be if we can make it so that more apps can be shown on the taskbar before it will force you to show the scrolling?  thanks.

I have the same request. It is driving me nuts to have to scroll up and down in the taskbar. I keep thinking the application closed on me and I have to reopen and start all over. Then I realize I have to scroll to find the app. Really annoying to not see all the apps at once. Windows 10 was much better in this respect. 

At least have the ability to define how many apps are in one row of the taskbar.

Thanks
