Hello everyone,

I was playing around with the registry in the window metrics settings and must have changed some registry key so that the title text on the taskbar preview window is way too big. I found the default .reg file online for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics and restored them. Rebooted, and still didnt change. I must have not created a registry backup like an idiot 🤦‍♂️ any ideas anyone?

Windows Edition: Windows 10 Home

Version: 20H2

OS Build: 19042.1288

Thanks!

    Hi JustinYi-Riley -

    I'm Jerico T., I understand that you're having some issues right now and I'd be more than happy to help you today.

    Let's perform System Restore to reverse any changes on your computer system.

    System Restore

    • System restore is where it will take your computer settings back to an earlier point in time where everything is working fine.
    1. Open the run box by pressing Windows Key + R and type rstrui.exe then press enter.
    2. System restore windows will open. Normally it will suggest a restore point(Sometimes it doesn't), if it does, select the 2nd option to select more restore points.
    3. Select your desired restore point date and time.
    4. Once selected, hit next and finish.

    Windows will restart itself to start system restore. System restore might take some time to complete and it is very important that system restore must not be interrupted during restore process as it might damaged the operating system. System restore will take at least 20 minutes or more depending on the content of the computer and the changes on the settings that was done prior to the date selected. System restore will also removed application , updates and drivers installed prior to the date selected.

    DISCLAIMER:

    System Restore is a recovery tool for Windows that allows you to reverse certain kinds of changes made to the operating system. System Restore is used to return important Windows files and settings—like drivers, registry keys, system files, installed programs, and more—back to previous versions and settings. Being said all applications and changes made prior to the date selected will be removed and needs to be re-installed if its needed.

    Hope this help. Have a good day.

    Thank you,

    Jerico T.
