Windows Central Question
The TASK BAR on Win 10 for my HP Stream 7 is way too big.
I am unable to resize the Task Bar. Auto-Hide does not function. When in portrait mode, the Task Bar takes nearly a third of the screen. If I am successful (and that is not always the case) at moving the Task Bar to either side, the effective screen area is reduced. I have played with Auto Hide the Task Bar; it does not ever "hide".
Even after I turn off all notifications & icons, it is still too big.
It appears that the notification buttons are crowded to one side, pushing up the height of the task bar.
This WAS NOT a problem in WIN 8.1. I am no novice with Windows. I cannot figure this out. I am angry beyond belief.
It dawns me again why non-tech types are drawn to iPAD & iPHONE: IT ALWAYS WORKS. No fussing around with a "bizzillion" settings.
For the time being, I have put on hold any plans to update either of my laptops, one on Win 7 and one on Win 8.1.
