[SOLVED] Windows 10 Is Stuck In Some Weird Tablet Mode And I'm Not Certain How To Restore It To Desktop Mode

[TryingToVirtualizeStuff]

Hello,

My Dad was fumbling around on his Windows 10 system, and he accidentally pressed something (he's not sure what), which caused the taskbar to increase massively in size (see URL below):

Does anyone know how to restore the taskbar to it's original size?

Thank you,

Can you set the mouse pointer at the top of the task bar so you get a up/down arrow?
If so just drag the size back down to where you want it.

Hello Bob.B,

It worked!

I feel pretty stupid not having tried that.

The problem was that when my Dad said he touched something, it sounded like he enabled something like tablet mode, which is why I didn't think to drag the taskbar down.

A big thank you for your help,
Nelson

You might want to right click the task bar and put a check in lock the task bar.

Hello Bob.B,

Done (thank you for the additional piece of information - in case my Dad fat fingers the same thing in the future)!

Thank you again,
