You can see this setting in action below. When selected, windows are never grouped, and labels are always shown. When it fills up, it reverts to the “Always, hide labels” functionality. When selected, windows are not grouped, and labels are shown unless the taskbar becomes full. When it’s selected, all windows for an app are grouped on the taskbar, and no labels are shown. To do this, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and click “Taskbar Settings.” In the settings window, look for the “Combine taskbar buttons” drop-down menu. You can have Windows show text labels, but the downside is that you also lose the grouping of related icons. This saves a lot of taskbar space but can make it difficult for newer users to recognize icons.

Use Small Icons to Fit More on the Taskbar You can increase the size of the taskbar up to about half your screen size. Then place your mouse at the top edge of the taskbar and drag to resize it just like you would with a window. This can be particularly handy if you moved it to the right or left edge of your screen, but it’s also good if you just want space for loads of icons. Right-click the taskbar and turn off the “Lock the taskbar” option. You can also resize the taskbar to get a little additional space.
