I understand you want to make the taskbar smaller on your HP Envy X360 14-inch 2-in-1 Laptop running Windows 11, follow these steps:

Method 1: Change Taskbar Size in Settings

2. Select "Taskbar settings": This will open the taskbar settings menu.
3. Scroll down to "Taskbar behaviors": Click to expand this section.
4. Change Taskbar Size:
   • Locate the "Taskbar size" option.
   • Select "Small" from the drop-down menu.

Method 2: Using Windows Settings App

Open Settings:

• Press Win + I to open the Settings app.

Go to Personalization:

• Select Personalization from the left-hand menu.
• Click on Taskbar in the right-hand menu.

Adjust Taskbar Alignment and Other Options:

• Ensure the taskbar is set to Center alignment (optional).
• Disable any unnecessary icons or widgets that may be contributing to the taskbar size.

Additional Tips

• Check Display Settings:
  • Ensure that your display settings (such as scaling) are properly configured. Right-click on the desktop, select Display settings, and ensure the scale is set to 100% (or another appropriate value).
