The upper one is Windows 8, just look how small W10 taskbar looks next to it.

How can I make it look like 8, basically to be the same size with icons and all?

    Method 4. How to Make Taskbar Icons Bigger Via Registry Editor

    For advanced users who are comfortable modifying the Windows Registry, this method provides another way to resize taskbar icons on Windows 10. Here’s how:

    1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type “regedit” (without the quotes) and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
    3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
    4. Right-click on an empty space in the right-hand pane and select “New” > “DWORD (32-bit) Value”.
    5. Name the new value “TaskbarSi” (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    6. Double-click on the newly created “TaskbarSi” value and set its value data to a number between 1 and 64, representing the size of the icons (e.g., 32 for medium, 48 for large).
    7. Click “OK” to save the changes and close the Registry Editor.
    8. Sign out and sign back in to your Windows account for the changes to take effect.

    2. I don’t know if this provides the feature you are looking for: https://chrisandriessen.nl/taskbarx

    Note, I believe the first method no longer works on Windows 11 after patch KB5022913. I see this for Windows 11: https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-icon-size I haven’t tried any of these methods myself.
