    Is there a way to show the date in the taskbar, when using small taskbar icons?

    It should fit, but it automatically goes away when you set small icons, too bad.

    Edit:
    And maybe also resizing the Start menu to fit this: (manually)

    And maybe even to set shortcut application icons in here:

    Just had a play with StartIsBack for 10 and it has an option to make the Taskbar Icons the same size as they were in 7.

    Ive tried the reg changes for it from 7 but it doenst seem to work in 10:

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
    "MinWidth"="50"
    
    Any idea on how to change it the way SIB does but manually?

    I'm i the only who have experiences some bugs with this :

    Code:
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\DefenderAuditLogger" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 
    
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\FamilySafetyAOT" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 
    
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\LwtNetLog" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 
    If they are at "0", my start menu, action center and search/cortana bar won't open. Even open on left clicking on volume or wifi ... i clic, but nothing happen, and maybe after a reboot the action center open one time but that it.

    At "1" (so activated) no problems.

    I found that de-activating some services have the same results, i will do further tests to know which one

    Damn. You people are trigger tweaker happy. The OS isn't done yet and more changes are coming so I'm staying away from most of these tweaks so that it won't break something that will force me to reinstall Windows when the next big patches hits.

    Isn't done yet ??

    It is officially release since july 29th, and the same version was finished weeks ago ...
    And 90% of those tweaks / options where present in the Insider Preview, even 8.1, damn even 7 and Vista...
