Fix: Taskbar button width should now be correct when Explorer Patcher is present on the system

I removed my startup task to delete the reg key and this fix seems to have solved the issue. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar "Icons and Text" not expanding properly on Windows 10 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#14 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 16:27:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#14 DisplayFusion Hopefully tomorrow, but if not, should be early next week :) ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar "Icons and Text" not expanding properly on Windows 10 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#13 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 16:47:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#13 DisplayFusion Any ETA on a new beta? ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar "Icons and Text" not expanding properly on Windows 10 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#12 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:58:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#12 DisplayFusion Sorry, disregard my last message, didn't see your update about ExplorerPatcher setting MinWidth.

Ok, if you open regedit and navigate to the key below, is there a value in the right pane called "MinWidth"? If so, can you try deleting it (or just rename it to MinWidth_Old) and then restart DisplayFusion?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

I had the same problem on windows 11.
Just in case somebody is searching the web and finds this thread.

Much appreciated. This fix solves the issue for me, too.

EDIT: Only works until you reboot, unfortunately. The reg key returns.
EDIT2: Explorer Patcher is setting the key to 38 upon starting. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar "Icons and Text" not expanding properly on Windows 10 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#9 Tue, 25 Jan 2022 07:28:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-icons-and-text-not-expanding-properly-on-windows-10/?ID=a56ba064-ecdc-4241-ae2b-f81c3a425d85#9 DisplayFusion
