I don't find any option even manually, how to show all active icons on taskbar right side. Previuosly the menu was called "collapsing / not collapsing", now it is called Taskbar Corner Overflow, but I can only choose single icons there to show, not view all automatically. This is missing feature?

    I wonder any news around this? I tried few reg keys under user hive explained in articles below but they don't work:

    The cmd works for me, Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (22621.1105)
    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

    And thanks Bosco for the alternative for Terminal.

    Thank you!

    Herre's a minor update to the cli syntax for Windows Terminal instead of Command Prompt: double quotes around the input for explorer,
    explorer "shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}"

    From an earlier or unrelated post ... lol. I hate Windows 11:

    posted by Rainer-7931

    on the command line, enter:
    explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
    then press enter, this will bring up the old settings page from windows 10 where you can enable "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar"

    I found it DOES in fact work; but you need to open an elevated command prompt.

    Indeed, it does not work as I was thinking. So I agree this simple function should be reenabled through a proper way in windows 11
