I would therefore request that you amend the information that you have provided to also inform the users of the potential issue should the hacks be used & that Microsoft will offer ‘No Help’ with regard to this issue. KB5004252 if uninstalled will prevent the offering & subsequent update of win11 to 22000.100 (current build) as KB5004252 (build 22000.71) is an incremental build release & must be present for build 22000.100 to be offered for install. We’re sorry, this is not a supported registry key for Windows 11. Quote “In our investigations, this is only happening for Insiders that have used unsupported registry keys to modify their taskbar. Here is the direct quote I received regarding this issue from Microsoft :

I have conversed with Microsoft regarding this apparent bug & was promptly informed that as I have used a registry hack that is not supported by Microsoft the issue is not theirs to correct. The issue manifests itself only after the installation of KB5004252 & distorts the positioning of the Icons within the system tray area making some of the info illegible. The information that you have supplied to adjust the Win11 task bar is corrrect but you have failed to inforrm the users that this method will cause issues within the Win11 task bar once the user receives & installs KB5004252 update for win11 which updates the build to 22000.71. That is how you change taskbar size in Windows 11.

You can also sign out or restart the Explorer process from Task Manager.
